Ben Shaw returns to the podcast, this time in-person and onboard DOVKA, his family's Hallberg Rassy. Ben is the host of the Out the Gate sailing podcast and a former crew of 59º North. Ben and his wife Lauren sailed with us on ICEBEAR in 2019 to prepare for their own cruising adventures, and we met up quite spontaneously in Hiva Oa, after both crossing the Pacific to the Marquesas. We talked about Ben and his family's cruising plans - they've been living aboard now for two years with their young kids - ocean sailing, podcasting and much more. -- This season of ON THE WIND is sponsored by Weather Routing Inc., aka 'WRI', 59º North's longtime weather routing & forecasting friends.

Spätestens mit der neuen Hallberg Rassy 69 wurde jedem klar, wohin die Reise im Bootsbau geht. Welche Größe an Boot ist eigentlich sinnvoll? Sind große Boote komfortabler? Wieviel Fuß braucht man, um glücklich zu sein? Heute sprechen wir mal über kleine Boote, den Markt und über unserer Erfahrungen. Themen: - Kleine Boote, große Boote - was ist sinnvoll? - Jochen Schümann ist mit 70 bei der ClubSwan WM Weltmeister geworden. Warum ist er so gut?
Raffi Patatian is one of the most conscientious, careful, and knowledgeable sailors I know. He set off for Mexico aboard his Hallberg Rassy 43, Wind River, in the fall of 2023. Since then, he has sailed many miles down the West Coast and across the Pacific Ocean, mostly singlehanded. He's an entrepreneur who ran his own IT business in the Bay Area before heading off cruising. Raffi and I caught up at his Sausalito home when he briefly returned from Fiji to pick up some boat parts.

Bjørn Børresen har kastet loss i pensjonisttilværelse og lagt kursen nordover i sin Lupi, en Hallberg-Rassy 43. Han seiler med fjellstøvlene på og tar noen lange etapper til Tromsø - der skal han snu og seile veldig sakte tilbake sammen med sin kone og venner. Vi tok en prat med ham i Svolvær. Hvis du er interessert i å holde sjekk på vedlikehold, reservedeler, sikkerhetsutstyr, proviantering og mye annet om bord, så kan jeg trygt anbefale løsningen til Aquator Marine.

In dieser Episode sprechen wir über das finale Ergebnis der Mini-Transat und die verschiedenen Strategien der Seglerinnen und Segler auf ihrem Weg in die Karibik. Und während die Minis schon angekommen sind, segeln die IMOCA und Class 40 im Rahmen der Transat Jacques Vabres noch über den Teich. Eine Nachricht, die uns in der letzten Woche sehr getroffen hat, war der Tod von Christoph Rassy, dem Gründer der Edelwerft Hallberg-Rassy. Wir nehmen die Nachricht zum Anlass und blicken zurück auf die Geschichte der Werft und unsere eigenen Erfahrungen an Bord einer Hallberg-Rassy.

My parents, Sid and Rebecca Shaw have been sailing together for over 50 years. Starting in the 60s and a newlywed couple aboard their 33-foot ferro-cement ketch and then later aboard their 35-foot Hallberg-Rassy, they've cruised all around the world. They talk with me about how they got into cruising and what kept them at it. From learning to sail in Florida to a near sinking in St. Thomas, they share stories from their time together at sea.
Das neue Projekt des Seglers, Musikers und Filmemachers Claus Aktoprak soll im Mai starten. Nach dem Projekt Die Route der Wikinger, das ihn in die schwedischen Schären führte, geht es nun über den Nordatlantik, wieder auf den Seewegen der Wikinger, aber diesmal zu zweit. Zusammen mit Todde (Torsten) Mohr will Claus nordwärts bis zum 64. Breitengrad segeln, immer an der norwegischen Küste entlang. Diesmal allerdings nicht auf seinem eigenen Boot, sondern auf Toddes „Joss“, einer Hallberg-Rassy 382 von 1988, die wie geschaffen für diesen Törn ist. Folge direkt herunterladen

I sesongen kaster Bjørn Børresen loss fra Blommenholm minst tre kvelder i uken og gjerne i helgene. Han er stadig på jakt etter både seilglede og seilerglede. Han finner som oftest go'følelsen. I høst solgte han sin Hallberg Rassy 43 for å kjøpe tilbake sin raske (veldig raske) turbåt Pogo 12.50 RC. Vi tok en prat med ham om bord om gleden av å seile både langt, kort og ikke minst fort.

Amanda Swan Neal was the rigger aboard Maiden, the first ever yacht sailed by an all-female crew in the round-the-world Whitbread race in 1989. I talk with Amanda about the new documentary, by director Alex Holmes, called Maiden, which tells the story of skipper Tracy Edwards and the race. We also talk about sailing from NZ to SF in the 1980s and the offshore sail-training expeditions that Amanda and her husband John Neal offer aboard their Hallberg-Rassy 46, Mahina Tiare III.

#170. Magnus Rassy is one of my favorite characters in sailing. He’s the CEO of Hallberg-Rassy and one of the most enthusiastic people in the sport. When I asked him how the new HR44 came to be, and why they needed a new model at all, his answer was pure Magnus. The man has a twinkle in his eye when he talks about his boats and it was a joy to catch up with him for a second podcast interview, again recorded onboard the flagship HR 64 at their yard in Sweden, a year after our first. -- Happy Thanksgiving, to those of you listening in the US! Mia & I just returned to the US after a blistering passage south with the Caribbean 1500. The 8 ½-day trip was a heck of a way to finish off the sailing season for us. We had it all - big winds and big seas up north, a few calm spells, and classic Trade Wind sailing under the SuperMoon a few weeks back. Our landfall in Tortola, as the moon was setting and the sun was rising, was a career highlight for me. Huge thanks to our crew of Ed, Bruce, David & Tom for making it such a memorable trip for Mia & I. By the time you hear this, Mia & I will be on the way to Sweden. We’ve got the next two months ‘off’, so to speak - off the boat anyway. For me, it’ll be a time to rest and reflect - during the long dark days of the Swedish winter, I’ll be hibernating, and it’ll be great. I’ll also be working of course, a little bit anyway - on this podcast, mainly, but also on some new creative projects, on keeping in touch with our crew for our 2017 passages and on answering emails from our listeners - so if I haven’t gotten back to you yet, be patient, I’ll try. And if you have something to say, now’s a good time to get my attention, so fire away any ideas, suggestions or just a note to say hi. Finally, we’ve made a few minor schedule changes for 2017, and a few of our crew have changed passages for next year so we have some open spots - 1 crew spot left for the Grendad-BVI trip in March; 3 available on the April Leeward Island & Dominica trip, which is now just ten days and scheduled to get you home in time for Easter; and 1 spot on the Azores to Scotland trip in June. That one in particular will be a great chance to do a proper long & challenging ocean passage. It’s 1,200 miles in potential heavy weather, and the temperature will be dropping as we sail north to Oban. And of course we’re all set up for the Arctic passages in 2018. See everything we have available and sign-up for a passage on 59-north.com/offshore.
#161 is John & Amanda Neal for a third time, who have run adventure sailing expeditions on their Hallberg-Rassy 46 Mahina Tiare for over 20 years. They’ve sailed 220,000 miles on the boat, taking her quite literally to the ends of the earth. We chatted in-person at the Hallberg-Rassy boatyard in Sweden about their recent summer in the Arctic. In case you missed it, in last week’s newsletter Mia and I officially published our 2018 offshore passage calendar. Isbjorn is headed north! That’s right, we’re Arctic bound in summer 2018, with passages to Scotland, Norway, Spitsbergen & Iceland. Visit 59-north.com/arctic for details & to register. As a nod to our podcast fans, we’ve not ‘linked’ this page online yet - so you guys get first dibs before the big launch at the boat show. You can come visit us on Dock H at the Annapolis Sailboat Show to tour Isbjorn and talk about ocean sailing.
The Wright family - Jon, Mia and Teo - paid a visit to Boat Radio's home harbour, the Port of Sóller, and gave Mike McDowall a tour of their pristine Hallberg Rassy 39. Over tea aboard SV Itchy Foot, they talk about home-schooling, the importance of having no plan and quality control at the Oreo cookie factory.
#138. I sat down with John & Amanda Neal of Mahina Expeditions, two of my favorite people in sailing and a huge inspiration both philosophically and practically in building my own offshore passage business with Isbjorn. This is the first of several podcasts I recorded in front of a live audience at the Toronto Boat Show in January, so you’ll hear some questions pop in from the handful of people we had in attendance. John & Amanda have varying and extremely interesting backgrounds that led them to the place they are today in sailing. John grew up on the west coast and did a bunch of single-handed sailing on his 27’ Albin Vega - the same kind of boat that Matt Rutherford completed his Around the America’s voyage on, by the way - and began giving lectures on how to go ocean sailing. He also became a pilot, a hobby he continues today. Meanwhile Amanda, half a world away in New Zealand, grew up cruising with her family and eventually wound up crewing on the first-ever all-female team in the Whitbread Race aboard Maiden. Their paths crossed many years later and since then the couple have sailed hundreds of thousands of miles together in their Hallberg-Rassy’s they call Mahina. Their voyages have taken them and over 1,000 crew members literally to the ends of the earth, from Arctic Norway to Antarctica and round the Horn over half a dozen times. They are consummate professionals and people to look up to if you’re interested in going offshore. Their website, mahina.com, is a treasure trove of information on all things offshore from boat design to checklists and everything in between, so be sure to check it out. As for our offshore passages, Mia and I only have 3 spots left for all of 2016 on Isbjorn. Just today we added another Caribbean trip for March of 2017, a week-long, downwind passage from Grenada to St Croix and the BVI following our trans-Atlantic from the Canaries. This week we’re gearing up for the Caribbean 600 Race, and we just completed the first two passages of 2016 with an awesome crew, despite some setbacks (check out the passages logs page on 59-north.com if you haven’t heard about it). You can find all of our passage info and sign up on 59-north.com/offshore. Thanks again for listening and I greatly appreciate the support of both my podcast fans and the awesome crews that have come sailing with us so far! Huge thanks to Ryan, Todd, Dan, Cicci, Greg, Andy & Mike for making the first two passages of 2016 so memorable and fun. With that, enjoy episode 138 with John & Amanda Neal! This episode is sponsored by Forbes Horton Yachts. Visit forbesyachts.com.
#125. is Janne Larsson, Swedish electrician cum-circumnavigator. This is another episode I recorded at Hallberg-Rassy’s Oppna Varv in August. Big thanks to podcast fan – and now guest of the show! – Nuno Antunes for introducing me to Janne. Janne is another dreamer, and another example of how to make dreams turn into reality. An electrician living in Helsingborg on Sweden’s southwest coast, Janne and a friend Karl made a handshake agreement one day after a wine-filled evening the night before, and agreed they’d set off together and sail around the world. Nevermind that neither of them had ever sailed before. That was just a detail. The book 'Brave or Stupid' was born. Thanks to Sailrite for sponsoring this episode! Come ocean sailing with Andy & Mia on their Swan 48 'Isbjorn'. To view the passage calendar, visit 59-north.com/offshore.
#120 is Magnus Rassy. If the name sounds familiar, it should – Magnus is CEO of Hallberg-Rassy, builder of some of the finest cruising yachts in the world. Orust island is legendary for producing sailing yachts, and in fact Magnus has an almost unbelieveable story to share about the history of this place.
