Il parle d'une voix calme et tranquille, mais sous chaque intonation percent les convictions et une passion pour son métier, qu'il raconte pour autant avec beaucoup de recul. A 54 ans, Guillaume Verdier est une star de l'architecture navale.Ses bateaux ont tout gagné, ou presque. Le vainqueur du Vendée Globe, Macif Santé Prévoyance ? C'est lui. Le vainqueur de The Ocean Race, 11th Hour Racing ? C'est encore lui. Le vainqueur de la Route du Rhum et de l'Arkéa Ultim Challenge Brest, Maxi Edmond de Rothschild ? C'est toujours lui. Et la liste n'est pas exhaustive, puis ses plans ont franchi la ligne en tête en Mini, en Class40, en Multi50, etc. Sans parler, bien sûr, de la Coupe de l'America où il oeuvre pour Team New Zealand depuis 2010.On parle de "plans Verdier", mais lui ne vous parlera que de son équipe, une bande d'une quinzaine d'experts dans tous les métiers de l'architecture navale, avec qui il collabore depuis de nombreuses années et qu'il prend soin d'énumérer, angoissé à l'idée d'en oublier certains.C'est au fond de la rade de Brest, à Logonna-Daoulas, qu'il découvre la voile en camps de vacances ; s'il adore la nature, il ne se prendra jamais de passion pour la course côté pratique. Destiné aux grandes écoles d'ingénieurs, il bifurque après la prépa et entre à l'école d'archi de Southampton, avant de compléter son cursus à l'université voisine. Un détour par l'université de Copenhague et le voilà chez Finot-Conq en 1997, à l'époque où le cabinet de Jouy-en-Josas domine le Vendée Globe. Il y apprend le métier pendant 4 ans, travaillant sur une flopée d'Imoca, avant de devenir indépendant.Il travaille ensuite sur le projet d'Hydraplaneur d'Yves Parlier, où il rencontre une bonne partie de ceux qui l'entourent encore aujourd'hui : Benjamin Muyl, Hervé Penfornis et Romaric Neyhousser... Après un premier passage marquant sur la Coupe de l'America chez Areva Challenge pour l'édition 2007, puis il entame une frutueuse collaboration avec VPLP qui se lance alors dans les Imoca. Leur premier bébé, Safran, révolutionne le genre, premier d'une longue lignée.En 2010, il intègre l'une des plus belles équipes du monde : Team New Zealand, les All Blacks de la voile. Avec eux, il va d'abord perdre (en 2013) puis remporter la Coupe en 2017 et 2021, Une expérience profondément marquante. En parallèle il continue à concevoir énormément de bateaux : des Imoca, bien sûr (qu'il dessine désormais sans VPLP), mais aussi des Minis, des Class40 et des Ultims : après Gitana 17, qui marque son époque, sa prochaine grosse livraison est Gitana 18. Nul doute que cette nouvelle machine made in Verdier & Co. ne devrait laisser personne indifférent !Diffusé le 21 février 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Meet Michelle Carnevale, president of 11th Hour Racing, which advocates for sustainability and ocean health with solutions designed to create a more inclusive future. Michelle recently contributed an article to Earth911, How You Can Help Create A Healthier Ocean By Composting. While it is a growing industry, composting services are still available in too few cities across the United States. According to a 2023 report by the Environmental Protection Agency, only 5% of food waste was composted in 2019, the last year for which the government has data. But many materials besides food, from yard waste to compostable packaging, could be returned to the soil through healthy, regenerative programs. In recent years, access to composting services has grown by 65%, according to Environmental America. The connection between groundwater, composting, and the oceans needs to be more widely understood. Michelle explains how healthy soil contributes to cooler, cleaner oceans. 11tth Hour Racing encourages residents in the Northeast to find and use composting services, promoting awareness at sailing competitions and through dozens of programs it supports. You can learn more about the organization and find local composting options in the Northeast at https://11thhourracing.org/closer/

26th January 2024 The Spokesmen Cycling Podcast EPISODE 345: 24 hour racing with Josh Reid on Scotland's Strathpuffer SPONSOR: Tern Bicycles HOST: Carlton Reid GUESTS: Josh Reid, Alfie Marsh TOPICS: LINKS: https://www.the-spokesmen.com/ https://www.ternbicycles.com https://twitter.com/CarltonReid https://strathpuffer.co.uk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-SjvNeRcU&t=175s TRANSCRIPT: Carlton Reid 0:13 Welcome to Episode 345 of the Spokesmen cycling podcast. This show was engineered on Saturday 27th of January 2024. David Bernstein 0:29 The Spokesmen cycling roundtable podcast is brought to you by Tern bicycles. The good people at Tern are committed to building bikes that are useful enough to ride every day and dependable enough to carry the people you love. In other words, they make the kind of bikes that they want to ride. Tern has e-bikes for every type of rider. Whether you're commuting, taking your kids to school or even carrying another adult, visit www.ternbicycles.com. That's t e r n bicycles.com to learn more. Carlton Reid 1:04 I'm Carlton Reid. And on today's episode we follow my son Josh with 24 hours 24 hours of mountain bike racing on the hills above Strathpeffer in the freezing Scottish Highlands, I was support crew handing Josh his food, water and bubble-free Red Bulls from a rental Range Rover at the side of a fire road climb right on the Strathpuffer course. You'll hear audio recorded during the day when Josh was chipper, and then through the 17 hours of darkness when he was well — spoiler alert — suffering. He managed 20 laps of what's affectionately known as the Puffer. And that's quite some achievement for him because ... Josh Reid 1:57 it's very technical. ... Carlton Reid 1:59 ... because he's more of a roadie/gravel rider. And that snippet of information yelled at me as Josh came past on his first lap told me he'd likely lose a bunch of time on the technical descents. Let's get rolling, beginning with some audio of me clipped from a video recorded on the long drive up to Scotland. We stopped in Glasgow to pick up filmmaker Alfie Marsh who helped Josh produce a stunning film of the event, the YouTube link for which is on the show notes at the hyphen spokesmen.com. I'm not gonna look at you, by the way, I'm going to be keeping my eyes completely focused on the road. So I do not normally drive an internal combustion engine car and certainly not one as mental as this Range Rover that I've got. But Josh needs to go to this event, we're driving on the A9 up towards Inverness, and we're gonna go to Strathpeffer — Josh can tell you exactly what the event we're doing, but clue's in the name, I guess. But to get out there to get all the kit, and to make sure we're kind of comfortable. So we have hired this car. And it's from a company called Turo. So I last time I hired a Turo in America in 2015 when I actually got a Tesla. But here, they've been in the last couple of years. It's basically Airbnb of car hire. So basically rented it off somebody into his personal so it's Gurinder's personal Range Rover. And obviously looking after it's not, you know, it's a rental so don't be gentle, no that you can look after the car. And we're going to be stopping shortly. For coffee breaks, beautiful day here in the Scottish Highlands. And Josh exactly what are we going to so Strathpeffer, what's the event that we're actually physically going to be doing? You're gonna be doing not me. So we're So we're going to Strathpeffer, but the event is Strathpuffer, or people call it the Puffer. And it's a 24 hour mountain bike event going round a 12 kilometre circuit. And as you can see, I've got laden with bikes in the back here. So I've got my gravel bike and full-suss mountain bike. And basically the aim is to just ride around a circuit for 24 hours and not to stop at all and see if I can get on the podium. We're in just outside of Contin. Lots of big setups here. We're in a small, relatively small setup, just the three of us. And we're gonna be riding for 24 hours. And how are you feeling? Yeah, all right. Ready to get going? It was a Le Mans start so all the riderss had to run to get to there Josh Reid 5:16 just in the two hours in on the third lap, and just keep on pushing. Make use of the up hill was very slow on the downhills. I've lost track of the number of laps I've done. I think I'm on lap five just under four hours completed. That means there's 20 to go Yeah, it's starting to feel like a grind going up this hill. Carlton Reid 5:55 Coming back fast. Alfie Marsh 5:56 I can see on the tracker. Josh is literally is just around the corner. There he is. Yes. Josh Reid 6:08 Yes, my four and a half hours in probably about 20 to go. Alfie Marsh 6:16 What's been going on with you so far? Josh Reid 6:18 I feel a bit sick right now. I was like stuffing a wrap with peanut butter and jam in. And then like all the way up to last climb. Got it down on me. But like, coming down I was just like Alfie Marsh How's the riding? good. Josh Reid Oh, it's just really good. Yeah, so much fun like the top it's really tacky, which is quite difficult, considering I'm a roadie. And then the bottom is really like flowy it's very nice. I guess I'm just Yeah, keep keep on plugging away. Yeah, I think last lap I was fifth place. Yeah, last I think I might have missed out a few places. I think last time I looked through a seven Okay, which is about half an hour ago. Alfie Marsh Yeah that's pretty damn good though. Yeah, you're happy with that? Josh Reid Yeah, just keep on going. Yeah, you never know when anyone else is gonna stop please raise your own race. You're gonna pass people you don't know where they are. You have a clue where Carlton Reid 7:13 the music is by Sonder, they're next to us, and will they play music all night long? dDon't suppose so — their batteries will run out. Sonder fella we can always make you on Thank you. Yeah, just coffee or tea or because that'd be nice yeah, yeah. Carlton Reid Thank you. Yeah, I just want to transfer any food you want to wrap?

Alfie Marsh 9:59 How's it feeling in the Josh Reid It was amazing to start with my first taste it was really good to start with just like fresh air it felt like a new ride. But I started to drag on now keep on plugging away I think I've stopped for about 10 minutes so far. We're about 10 hours two more to halfway to Carlton Reid 10:30 our next one I'm doing now how's it doing? Nothing we're doing okay now that we're found Josh's salts and he's had a look at that. So that is beautiful as pasta that we cooked yesterday or today. When did we cook that pasta last night and it's now got lovely, lovely Strathpeffer mud on it. And he's ingesting that. She's getting extra proteins no doubt from that nice mud. Right so that's his next one that's got salt in and I may as well do his next one as well. After that. I don't he might want to Red Bull while after that lightly. We're going to leave Josh in the mud for a moment and cut to an ad break with my colleague David in the US.

On l'avait un peu oublié, mais Benjamin Dutreux n'a que 33 ans. Et déjà, dans son sillage, Solitaire du Figaro, Transat Jacques Vabre, Route du Rhum, Vendée Globe et The Ocean Race... Après une brillante carrière dans la filière multicoque chez les jeunes et un premier job chez un constructeur de catas de sport, le voilà qui plonge dans le Figaro en 2015. Il n'a jamais couru en solitaire mais 4 saisons plus tard, il rentre dans le top 5 en 2018 pour sa dernière participation. Entre temps le virus du Vendée Globe l'a rattrapé : il part au Japon racheter le plan Farr de Kojiro Shiraishi en 2019 et se lance dans une campagne express : Transat Jacques Vabre à l'arrache et... plus aucune course pour cause de Covid, jusqu'au Défi Azimut 2020, sa première course en solo en Imoca, moins de 2 mois avant le départ. C'est mal connaître Benjamin Dutreux que de s'inquiéter pour lui. Il joue les premiers rôles sur son Imoca à dérives devant une meute de foilers dès le départ, ne cédant une incroyable 5e place que sur le tard pour se classer finalement 9e. Pas question de s'arrêter là : dans les mois qui suivent il enchaîne une nouvelle Transat Jacques Vabre avec Damien Seguin, participe à The Ocean Race Europe avec Team Germany tout en négociant l'ex 11th Hour Racing ! Puis il trouve un nouveau sponsor - Guyot Environnement -, le convainc de s'engager sur The Ocean Race en 2023, et participe à la Route du Rhum 2022, qu'il termine en 8e position. A peine le temps de souffler, et quelques semaines plus tard, départ d'Alicante avec une équipe qui a doublé de taille. Ce second tour du monde va s'avérer un long chemin de croix, avec un abandon sur délaminage du fond de coque après Le Cap, un démâtage après Recife, et un funeste refus de tribord au futur vainqueur à La Haye... Benjamin Dutreux en parle sans fioriture, grandi - lui comme son équipe - par l'expérience. Et en l'écoutant longuement, on comprend qu'il n'est pas du genre à lâcher facilement. Une chose est claire, il faudra compter sur Benjamin Dutreux lors du Vendée Globe 2024.  Diffusé le 22 septembre 2023 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Grégoire Levillain

The Ocean Race is a yacht race around the world, held every three or four years since 1973. The 11th Hour Racing Team is an American team competing in the 2023 Ocean Race, the first since 2017. Charlie Enright is the skipper of the 11th Hour Racing Team. At the time of the release of this podcast, the 11th Hour Racing team is currently in the lead. At the age of 36, Charlie has two round-the-world campaigns under his belt and over a decade-worth of experience in offshore racing. Born and raised in the maritime hub of Bristol, Rhode Island, Charlie learned to sail at a young age and went on to join his college sailing team at Brown University. This is his 3rd World Race as Skipper. In this episode, Enright explains the process of racing around the world, and what goes into it. He explains how they use radar and sonar to see where the other boats are, and how they sleep in shifts. They also explain how they eat over the days, and no, Twinkies are not used. Good luck to the 11th Hour Racing Team to finish the Ocean Race in the lead!

Ce 106e épisode de Pos. report revient sur la deuxième étape de The Ocean Race avec le Britannique Sam Goodchild, vainqueur  à bord d'Holcim PRB, et Anne Beaugé, on-board reporter sur Biotherm, l'Imoca de Paul Meilhat, deuxième de cette étape de 4 600 milles entre le Cap Vert et Le Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Cette dernière commence par raconter comment, après une première carrière dans la mode et la publicité, elle s'est prise de passion pour la mer, au point de se lancer en Mini 6.50 puis en Class40, avant de revenir à l'image, ce qui lui a valu d'être contactée par Paul Meilhat pour faire partie des on-board reporters de Biotherm sur The Ocean Race. De son côté, Sam Goodchild explique que c'est lui qui a postulé auprès de Kevin Escoffier, skipper d'Holcim PRB, lui qui confie avoir toujours été attiré par The Ocean Race, “une course mythique” dans le monde anglo-saxon. Nous commençons ensuite à dérouler le fil de la deuxième étape, avec un premier enjeu majeur, le passage de Pot-au-noir, qui a vu Guyot Environnement-Team Europe prendre le pouvoir grâce à une option à l'est que ses concurrents n'ont pas voulu suivre. “On n'y croyait pas, chapeau à eux”, commente Sam Goodchild. Place ensuite à un premier speed-test lors du bord de reaching vers le Brésil, des conditions pas évidentes lorsqu'on doit, comme Anne Beaugé, tenir une caméra ou un appareil photo, tant les conditions sont parfois bien inconfortables à bord des Imoca lancés à haute vitesse. Cette dernière décrit au passage sa journée type, rythmée par les envois d'images à l'organisation. Sam Goodchild raconte ensuite la stratégie du contournement de l'anticyclone de Sainte-Hélène, puis le dernier tronçon entre l'Amérique du Sud et Le Cap, qu'il a fallu négocier par une route très sud, proche de la limite des glaces. La fin de l'étape a totalement redistribué les cartes, en raison d'une dorsale anticyclonique sur la route, nos deux invités racontant comment ils ont vécu les 24 dernières heures, finalement favorables à Holcim PRB, arrivé avec 16 minutes et 45 secondes d'avance sur Biotherm, 25 minutes et 31 secondes sur 11th Hour Racing. Nous finissons par évoquer l'avenir, Sam Goodchild confirmant qu'il va se lancer sur un projet de Vendée Globe - bientôt officialisé -, d'où un programme bien chargé cette année, Anne Beaugé souhaitant quant à elle continuer à collaborer avec des équipes et/ou des courses.  Diffusé le 14 février 2023 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Grégoire Levillain

This month's edition of Shirley Robertson's Sailing Podcast comes from the Spanish port of Alicante, long time home to the Ocean Race, as the fourteenth edition of this famous round the world adventure gets underway with a dramatic new look.On what is the fiftieth anniversary of what was originally called the Whitbread Round The World Race, then became famous as the Volvo Ocean Race and is now being sailed as simply The Ocean Race, Shirley Robertson presents her podcast from the start of the thirty two thousand nautical mile odyssey.  In this edition she talks to skippers and crew members from each of the five foiling IMOCA entrants, and catches up with Ocean Race Co-President, Johan Salen, to talk thorough the class changes, and the future of the Race.Now being sailed in the IMOCA class, the superfast foiling monohulls more familiar to Vendee Globe fans, much of the dockside chat was over sailing these solo-orientated speed machines with a crew, and how sailing from the almost fully covered cockpits was a huge departure for this race.In Part 1 of this two part podcast, Robertson talks all things Ocean Race with three of the five IMOCA teams taking on the challenge, including Charlie Enright of '11th Hour Racing'....:"It almost requires a more natural sailor, because you are trying to do it with less feedback, if that makes sense, so it's more seat of the pants, it's more feeling, it's really unique to be sailing inside and down below."From 'Holcim PRB', French offshore skipper Kevin Escoffier is also in PArt 1..: "You have to discover new ways of feeling it, the vibration, the sounds of the foils...anybody who has sailed a dinghy will know, if they close their eyes, they will feel the boat."Part 1 also includes guest appearances from  The Ocean Race race village with one time winner of the Volvo Ocean Race,  Ian Walker, and Team SCA Volvo skipper Sam Davies.  Episode 1 then wraps up with two time Ocean Race sailor Annie Lush of 'Guyot environnment'  discussing the differences between this edition of the race and her two previous editions.This edition of The Ocean Race is a fascinating new era - in Part 2 of this podcast,  Robertson talks with Co-President of the Race, Johan Salen, two time Volvo Ocean Race sailor Annie Lush, British offshore sailor Will Harris of Team Malizia and to IMOCA regular, Route du Rhum winner Paul Meilhat, skippering 'Biotherm'. This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley's own website - www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Comment passer des directions assistées pour automobiles aux voiliers de haute technologie ? Est-il possible pour un ingénieur de faire son métier de sa passion ? Comment une page blanche devient un bateau capable de faire le tour du Monde ? Qu'est-ce qu'un ingénieur d'études peut apporter à des skippers ? Pour nous répondre, nous recevons Clément Thivin, ingénieur d'études « mécanique et systèmes » au bureau d'études de MerConcept, l'écurie de course au large créée par le navigateur François Gabart en 2006.De l'intérêt à la passion [1 :30  -  7:51]Lors du cursus d'ingénieur de Clément Thivin à l'INSA de Lyon, ses professeurs l'encouragent à suivre leur ancien élève, François Gabart, qui participe au Vendée Globe Challenge, fin 2012. Dans les médias, Clément Thivin découvre le projet de « construction d'un trimaran de course pour battre le record du tour du monde à la voile en solitaire » par MerConcept. Ce sera sur ce projet qu'il travaillera durant son stage en 2014.C'est en poste chez JTEKT Technology que Clément Thivin comprend qu'il est passionné par la voile et que c'est là qu'il veut travailler. Ses candidatures ne sont pas retenues. Puis, en intégrant les Chantiers de l'Atlantique, il s'approche de l'océan et acquiert de l'expérience dans le secteur naval. Ensuite, « dans un média spécialisé, j'ai vu une offre de MerConcept ». Elle correspond bien à son profil. Il postule. Il est recruté.Concevoir un bateau compétitif [8 :09 - 17 :10]C'est donc en 2019 que Clément Thivin revient chez MerConcept. Il travaillera d'abord sur l'Imoca 11th Hour Racing. Il explique la différence de design entre cet Imoca, dessiné pour un équipage, et « l'Imoca Apivia, skippé par Charlie Dalin ». L'acquisition du vocabulaire nautique est comparée par Clément Thivin à l'arrivée « dans un nouveau pays ». « L'ingénieur d'études doit produire des pièces, des systèmes » pour le bateau. Clément Thivin illustre sa charge de travail : « En août 2019, le bateau était une page blanche. À l'été 2021, il a navigué. En novembre, il a traversé l'Atlantique ». Ces bateaux sont conçus pour « participer à des courses et si possible les gagner ». Il faut à l'ingénieur d'études « un bon niveau de confiance et de doute » pour « prendre les décisions vitales pour la performance du bateau ».À l'écoute des skippers  [17 :30 - 28 :33]« On fait un bateau pour que les skippers puissent l'exploiter au maximum pendant les courses. Ils doivent être très impliqués dans le design du bateau et la philosophie des systèmes », explique Clément Thivin. Le « retour est immédiat pendant toutes les phases de conception ». « Capables de passer trois mois en mer tous seuls sur leur bateau, ils ont des choses à raconter. », ajoute Clément Thivin.  « Les courses de bateaux rythment nos journées. La cartographie est le seul accès à la performance. Les pointages permettent de connaître les positions des bateaux ».Références citées :MerConceptThe OceanRace est la course à laquelle va participer l'Imoca 11hHour RacingLes Chantiers de l'Atlantique à Saint-NazaireJTEKT TechnologyL'INSA de LyonL'Université d'Aalto à Helsinki, en FinlandeRessources pour aller plus loin :Le média spécialisé dans la voile de compétition Tip & Shaftle festival de films documentaires Sailorz Le livre « La longue route », de Bernard Moitessier« Maiden », le documentaire sur la skippeuse britannique Tracy EdwardsLe Off Shore film festival, consacré à l'aventure en merCogitons Sciences est un podcast produit par Techniques de l'Ingénieur.

A la veille de l'ouverture du premier One Ocean Summit de Brest, ce 59e épisode de Pos. Report se penche sur le développement durable dans la voile de compétition avec trois invités concernés par cette thématique : Imogen Dinham-Price, consultante sur ce sujet pour la classe Imoca, Damian Foxall, manager du programme « sustainability » de l'équipe américaine 11th Hour Racing, et Lalou Roucayrol, dont le chantier Lalou Multi vient de mettre à l'eau un Class40 100% recyclable, Captain Alternance, pour Keni Piperol. Nous évoquons d'abord le One Ocean Summit, à laquelle la classe Imoca, Charlie Enright, skipper de 11th Hour Racing Team, et Lalou Roucayrol vont d'ailleurs participer, un « honneur » pour ce dernier, Damian Foxall estimant que c'est l'occasion pour les coureurs et les teams de « montrer leur adhésion » aux sujets liés à la préservation des océans, mais également de « réfléchir à leurs obligations et à leurs devoirs. » Tous estiment que même s'il existe une part de « green washing », le développement durable est de plus en plus pris en compte par les marins professionnels, notamment par les plus jeunes, même si quelques pionniers, comme Roland Jourdain, ont montré la voie. Imogen Dinham-Price cite ainsi le rôle moteur joué au sein de l'Imoca par Boris Herrmann ou par 11th Hour Racing qui a mis cette thématique au centre de ses préoccupations. Avec une priorité, mesurer l'impact écologique des projets (construction de bateaux, fonctionnement au quotidien…) pour ensuite prendre les mesures les plus adéquates afin de le limiter et le compenser. 11th Hour Racing a ainsi réalisé une analyse de cycle de la vie de la construction de son dernier Imoca, qui a fait apparaître 550 tonnes de CO2 émis, à comparer avec les 340 tonnes mesurés plus de dix ans plus tôt par Roland Jourdain sur un Imoca. « C'est l'inverse de ce qu'il faut faire et ça pointe le doigt sur les challenges que nous devons relever », commente Damian Foxall qui explique cette différence importante par les foils (environ 100 tonnes de CO2 émis) et des « bateaux de plus en plus complexes construits avec un mélange de matériaux plus important. » Lalou Roucayrol raconte ensuite comment le chantier Lalou Multi a construit Captain Alternance, avec une résine thermoplastique et une mousse recyclables pour un poids et un prix équivalents à un Class40 construit en fibre de verre/époxy, même s'il reconnaît une « prise de risque » quant à la mousse, peu éprouvée en compétition. Il explique également comment les moules ayant servi à la fabrication des bras avant de l'Ocean Fifty Arkema 4 ont été ensuite déconstruits et recyclés. Imogen Dinham-Price détaille de son côté les mesures prises par l'Imoca dans la jauge votée en 2021 : incitation à utiliser des matériaux bio-sourcés pour des éléments non-structurels des bateaux, obligation d'une voile « verte » en 2023… Des mesures appréciées par Damian Foxall car « elles laissent aux équipes l'option de faire leurs propres choix. » Nos invités finissent par évoquer le rôle important qu'ont à jouer les classes et les organisateurs de classe pour contribuer à limiter l'impact écologique de la course au large.  Diffusé le 8 février 2022 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Julien Badoil

Part 1 of 2 For the past fifty years, fiberglass boats have been considered the cheap and minimal maintenance way to own a boat, but with an estimated 120,0000 glass hulls being decommissioned each year, either destroyed by storms or dumped in landfills, we are starting to realize just how long lasting they are.  This episode's guest, Evan Ridley, is the Director of Environmental Programs at the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA), and he has been tasked with finding a solution to this growing problem. Thanks to grants provided by BoatUS and Newport’s 11th Hour Racing, RIMTA has spearheaded a groundbreaking fiberglass recycling program. We are excited to welcome Evan to the East Passage Boatwright studio to find out more about the process and how it will impact the future.

Our guest in this episode is Andy Green of British Racing Green. Andy is part of the 11th Hour Racing Ambassador Program, which consists of a group of professional sailors committed to ocean health. We chat with Andy about 11th Hour's involvement in this year's highest profile sailing events, what it's like to go from competition to commentating, and how we all can help change the world.
