My guest for this episode is Andy Green. Some of you may recognize Andy’s voice - particularly if you followed the Volvo Ocean Race visit in Newport - as he was the commentator for that event. Andy has also been a commentator for the America’s Cup World Series and the London 2012 Olympics. In addition to his role as commentator, Andy is an active life long sailor who will be participating in the 12 Metre Worlds this summer in Newport. And like a few other past guests, Andy arrived to record the podcast fresh off a night of racing Shields in Narragansett Bay.We cracked open a few cold ones and talked about all of that and more. And at one point my wife chimes in with a few good questions that range from the technical aspects of his role, to what it’s like as a fellow expat living in Newport.

Sail Newport has been Rhode Island’s public sailing center since its inception in 1983 and it has attracted sailors as young and inexperienced as the kids in their summer Guppy Program to the biggest names in the sport with the 2018 Volvo Ocean Race stopover.  Brad Read is the executive director of Sail Newport and he has been instrumental in bringing high profile events like The Ocean Race to Narragansett Bay and by partnering up with American Magic, hopefully returning The Cup to her home. With all those career accolades, it is clear that the program that he is most proud of is the Pell School Sailing Program that gives all Newport Public School 4th graders the opportunity to get out on the water, learn how to sail, take care of our oceans and become better people.  In other news, we also discuss some exciting details about the ATB Morning Light movie night, April 16th at Jane Pickens Theater. Listen in! Thanks to our sponsor: Latitude Yacht Brokers, a Certified Professionally Endorsed Yacht Brokerage (CPYB) firm located in historic Newport, Rhode Island.

When Newport Harbor empties out in the winter, a group of intrepid dinghy sailors takes the opportunity to hit the water.  Every Sunday from October to April, the members of Laser Fleet 413 gather on the beach at Sail Newport to launch their boats for some around the buoys racing.  Some call them nuts or crazy and how could you blame them, but as fleet co-captain, Scott Pakenham will tell you, there is no better time to sail in Newport.  Take a listen as we talk with Scott about what it is like to chip the ice of the lines, all in the name of some great racing.
