Podcast appearances and mentions of sydney hobart

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Pamela Lee, a professional offshore sailor from Ireland who's breaking records and barriers in one of the most extreme, male-dominated sports on the planet. Now based in Brittany, France—the heart of short-handed offshore racing—Pamela has carved out her path with grit, determination, and a clear vision for empowering women through sailing. Pam shares her journey from growing up beside the sea in Ireland to becoming the first Irish woman to skipper the Transat Jacques Vabre Race, setting three world records sailing around Ireland, and now training for the 2026 Route du Rhum, one of the toughest solo ocean races in the world. We dive deep into her early influences, the realities of offshore racing, learning French to break into the French sailing scene, and the financial, emotional, and physical challenges of pursuing elite-level sailing. From boat borrowing to breaking glass ceilings, Pamela opens up about the power of visibility, representation, and believing in your own potential—no matter how big the dream. Whether you're interested in sailing, women in sport, or chasing bold goals, this is an empowering and eye-opening conversation not to miss. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Il aura 40 ans le 11 août, quelques jours avant le départ de la Solitaire du Figaro, à Rouen, sa ville natale. Est-ce un signe ? Alexis Loison se dit "un peu superstitieux, mais moins que d'autres". Pas au point de croire au mauvais œil, celui qui le poursuivrait, lui qui vise, pour sa 18e participation, la victoire dans la prochaine édition.Pourquoi un tel acharnement, alors que les figaristes d'aujourd'hui restent moins longtemps que leurs glorieux aînés, qui consentaient à quitter le circuit au bout d'une dizaine d'années pour beaucoup d'entre eux ? Parce qu'il aime cette course, tout simplement.Une passion qui le tient depuis son plus jeune âge : un virus transmis par son père et les croisières familiales depuis Cherbourg, le port d'attache des Loison. puis les courses du Rorc, le Laser, le First Class 8, le Figaro 1 avec Alexandre Toulorge... Lycéen, il rêve de Figaro., pas de Route du Rhum ou de Vendée Globe !Il plonge enfin dans le grand bain en 2006, à l'occasion du départ de la Solitaire depuis Cherbourg : et c'est parti pour 17 participations consécutives - avec juste une pause en 2022. Il lui faudra six éditions pour rentrer dans le top 10, quand, enfin, après des années de vaches maigres, il décroche un vrai sponsor - Fiva - et entre au Pôle Finistère course au large. Depuis il fait partie des habitués du top 10, candidat "naturel" à la victoire, même s'il n'a remporté qu'une seule étape et n'est jamais monté sur le podium.Figariste, Alexis Loison est aussi stakhanoviste, n'hésitant pas à multiplier les supports, en particulier l'IRC, qu'il fréquente assidûment sur les courses du Rorc : en 2013, avec son père, il réalise un exploit, remportant le Fastnet en double et au général - une épreuve qu'il a remportée 4 fois au total. Il est aussi habitué de Sydney-Hobart, remporté à deux reprises. Il goûte aussi au Class40, avec trois Transat Jacques Vabre dans les bottes.Quand il entre comme technico-commercial chez Technique Voile, en 2022, mettant la Solitaire en pause, ce n'est que pour mieux revenir l'an dernier : avec un nouveau sponsor et toujours la même passion, tout en continuant son nouveau job chez Incidences.Le Figaro dans la peau, toujours...Diffusé le 3 mai 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

For our 7th episode, March 2024, Seabed 2030 Head of Partnerships Steve Hall interviews acclaimed sailor Lisa Blair. On her yacht "Climate Action Now" Lisa has broken records including the solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica (2022); solo, non-stop and unassisted around Australia (2018); and in 2019 with co-skipper Jackie Parry becoming the first double-handed female team to finish in the history of the gruelling Sydney-Hobart race. However Lisa is not only an ocean adventurer - citizen science is equally important as she carries a Seabed 2030 data logger so that she can contribute new bathymetric data obtained when sailing in places no survey ships have visited, as well as a comprehensive 'micro-lab at sea' in the forward sail locker that measures essential oceanographic parameters such as temperature and salinity. Lisa takes microplastic samples, and launches research instrumentation such as Argo floats as she travels the gobal ocean.An inspiring human being with the motto "Just Do - Because the World is Changed by Doers" ..By the time this episode goes live, Lisa is scheduled to be taking part in a record attempt between Sydney and New Zealand. Follow Lisa on Instagram at @lisablairsailstheworld and her website is at https://lisablairsailstheworld.comWe'll be back in April for episode 8. In the meantime we'll be present at the Economist World Ocean Summit, Lisbon and Oceanology International, London in mid-March with a session about Seabed 2030 in the Ocean Futures Theatre at Excel on 13th March from 1215-1315hrs.

The Rotary Club of Sydney Cove provides resources to ease the plight of Ukrainians displaced within their country and those who settle in Australia.

Australian Boxing Day is a unique blend of cultural and commercial significance. While it doesn't have a solid religious connotation here, it's a day when Australians extend their Christmas festivities. It's often a time for family barbecues, cricket matches, and watching the iconic Sydney to Hobart yacht race. On the other hand, many Australians look forward to this day to sweep the stores for the best bargains.  - Boxing Day li Australya rojeke bêhempa ya girîngiya çandî û bazirganiyê ye. Tev ku ew li vir netêgeheke olî ya mezin e, ew rojek e ku Australî pîrozbahiyên xwe yên Krîsmisê dirêj dikin.

Sur le papier, la voie de Nicolas Lunven était toute tracée : avec un père participant à plusieurs reprises de la Course de l'Aurore, la filiation semblait évidente. Sauf que non : les exploits paternels datent d'avant sa naissance, en 1982, et il commence par des croisières familiales. Mais bon sang ne saurait mentir, et il embarque en course dès l'adolescence. Mais pas de formation en voile légère ni par la Mini Transat : Lulu, comme beaucoup l'appellent, fait ses armes en habitable, et en particulier sur le Tour Voile, auquel il participera 11 fois. En tentant sa chance lors du Challenge Esoir Crédit Agricole, c'est la révélation : le Figaro sera sa passion. Charles Caudrelier l'appelle pour prendre la barre de son Figaro en 2007, et il finit premier bizuth. Deux ans plus tard, il remporte la Solitaire, à 25 ans, au milieu des cadors de l'époque. Sa carrière est lancée : Solitaire, TFV, Sydney-Hobart, il enchaîne et s'autorise une pause en 2014, pour participer à la Volvo Ocean Race sur Mapfre. L'expérience est de courte durée, mais elle confirme que Nicolas Lunven entre désormais dans la catégorie des équipiers recherchés puisqu'il embarque sur l'Imoca Safran. Et s'il retourne en Figaro ensuite, c'est pour survoler la saison 2017 et entrer dans le club fermé des doubles vainqueurs de l'épreuve. Sa carrière s'accélère et le téléphone sonne : nouvelle Volvo Ocean Race sur Turn The Tide On Plastic, nouvelle saison en Imoca, avec PRB puis Initiatives-Coeur, pige chez Banque Pop pour remplacer Clarisse Crémer pendant sa grossesse, retour à The Ocean Race avec Malizia et, finalement, en septembre de cette année, il remplace Kevin Escoffier à la barre d'Holcim-PRB. Voilà comment, à 40 ans, on devient un candidat plus que sérieux au départ du prochain Vendée Globe. Avec rigueur, sérieux et discrétion. Mais ne vous fiez pas à sa réputation tranquille : derrière son regard clair, Lulu sait faire aller - très - vite les bateaux....  Diffusé le 6 octobre 2023 Générique : In Closing – Days Past Post-production : Grégoire Levillain

Der er gået lang tid siden Vindøjet sidst var aktuelt med en ny episode, men nu er jeg tilbage med en ordentlig maraton-episode til jer. Michael Møllmann er hjernen bag Hansen Sailing Team, der ikke bare har vundet alt, der er værd at vinde herhjemme, de har også sat deres præg på kapsejlads-felter i det store udland, hvor deres X37 var en frygtet modstander. Nu har Michael vendt blikket en lidt anden vej, for efter et par skuffende sæsoner, hvor den forløsende guldmedalje ikke kom i hus er holdet gået en anden vej. Offshore. De har købt en ægte racer til blåt vand, en Elliott35 i ren kulfiber, som har svingkøl, stiksværd og et tre meter langt bovspryd. Planen for projektet er at tage til England samt at komme langt videre ud i verden, når de har samlet erfaring nok. Målet er de store kapsejladser, Fastnet, Transat, Transpac og ikke mindst Sydney-Hobart. Drømmen er, at komme ud og opleve verden set med en kapsejlers perspektiv. Holdet kan du følge på https://www.facebook.com/HANSENSailingTeamDKAlt det og meget mere i Vindøjet, en podcast om sejlsport.

Ce 45e épisode de Pos. Report est consacré, une fois n'est pas coutume, au circuit IRC et plus particulièrement à la Middle Sea Race, dont la 42e édition s'élance samedi 23 octobre de La Valette (Malte). Nos deux invités seront sur la ligne de départ, Stéphane Névé à bord du TP52 Paprec Recyclage, Jacques Pelletier à la barre de son proto de 41 pieds sur plans Valer L'Ange de Milon. L'un comme l'autre commencent par présenter leur parcours nautique : Jacques Pelletier a beaucoup navigué en solitaire, participant à sept reprises à la Solitaire du Figaro, entre 1979 et 1985, avant de courir la Transquadra puis de se consacrer aux courses en équipage sur le circuit IRC ; Stéphane Névé a, quant à lui, débuté par la planche avant de découvrir l'habitable puis de faire la rencontre de Jean-Luc Petithuguenin, patron de Paprec, avec lequel il a monté un projet sportif qui se poursuit vingt ans plus tard. Nos deux invités évoquent également leurs bateaux respectifs, un proto de 12 mètres signé Jacques Valer et construit par Charlie Capelle pour Jacques Pelletier, un TP52 de 2011 pour Stéphane Névé, que l'équipe Paprec a fait évoluer l'hiver dernier pour le typer davantage vers le large, son objectif étant désormais de se consacrer davantage aux courses hauturières qu'aux épreuves de type Grand Prix. Ils nous expliquent comment fonctionne la jauge IRC qui permet, via un système de coefficient, « de faire courir les uns contre les autres des bateaux ayant des caractéristiques de dimension et de forme différentes », rappelle Jacques Pelletier. Ce dernier disputera ainsi la Middle Sea Race, à laquelle il a participé une première fois en 2019, en IRC 4, tandis que Paprec Recyclage est inscrit en IRC 1, soit la catégorie qui réunit les plus grandes unités comme le dernier né de 125 pieds Skorpios, mais aussi Comanche ou Rambler, - qui détient toujours le record de l'épreuve (47 heures et 55 minutes). Stéphane Névé fait par ailleurs une photographie du circuit des 52 Super Series, auquel l'équipe Paprec participe depuis plusieurs saisons, un circuit très professionnel, sur lequel lui et ses équipiers ont « appris beaucoup de choses », ce qui leur permet de mieux maîtriser leur TP52. Nos deux invités finissent par raconter comment ils organisent leur logistique, sachant qu'ils naviguent entre Manche, Atlantique, Méditerranée, mais aussi parfois Caraïbes l'hiver et dans l'hémisphère Sud pour la Sydney-Hobart.  Diffusé le 19 octobre 2021 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Clovis Tisserand 

Losing a mast in the Sydney Hobart; setting up his boat, a Thomas Gilmer Aries 32, for the Golden Globe Race; safety protocols; the selection and refit of Harmony; bottom paint; training for the big race; and much more

Ce 33e épisode de Pos. Report met le cap au sud, et plus précisément vers la Méditerranée, où est lancé mercredi le départ de la grande course de la célèbre Giraglia, à laquelle participent nos deux invités du jour, Kito de Pavant, skipper du Class40 HBF Reforest Action, et Gilles Chiorri, embarqué à bord du Dufour 45 Maquis, mené par Julien Farnarier, ancien spécialiste de 49er. L'un comme l'autre commencent par expliquer ce que représente la Giraglia, course la plus importante en Méditerranée avec la Middle Sea Race, qui est l'équivalent d'épreuves mythiques comme le Fastnet ou Sydney-Hobart. Gilles Chiorri se souvient y avoir participé pour la première fois en 1982, en même temps que la victoire de l'Italie lors de la Coupe du monde de foot, Kito de Pavant évoque quant à lui ses bons souvenirs à Saint-Tropez à bord de son Imoca Groupe Bel. Ils parlent ensuite des spécificités de la météo et d'un parcours qui, en période normale, s'élance de Saint-Tropez pour rallier Gênes via le rocher de la Giraglia, au nord du Cap Corse, ce qui ne sera pas le cas cette année, puisque, Covid oblige, départ et arrivée auront lieu en Italie (Sanremo et Gênes). Nous évoquons ensuite avec eux le paysage de la course au large en Méditerranée, avec beaucoup d'épreuves, qui ont cependant du mal à se pérenniser, à l'image de la Generali Solo et la Cap Istanbul en Figaro, ou le Triangle du Soleil, aujourd'hui disparues. Pour Gilles Chiorri, qui officie aujourd'hui comme directeur de course de la Coupe Napoléon (qui a remplacé l'ex tour de Corse), c'est surtout une question de culture, la voile étant surtout perçue autour de la Grande Bleue sous le prisme de la plaisance et du yachting, tandis que Kito de Pavant regrette que les « Bretons » ne fassent pas plus souvent l'effort de se rendre en Méditerranée. Ce dernier présente au passage son programme de la saison à bord de son Class40, plan Verdier dont il a coupé l'étrave l'hiver dernier pour en améliorer les performances, un programme dont le sommet sera la Transat Jacques Vabre avec Gwen Gbick. Gilles Chiorri officiera quant à lui après la Giraglia sur le Pro Sailing Tour, nouveau circuit des Ocean Fifty, dont il est le directeur de course, et qui se rendra justement en Méditerranée cet été avec un « épisode » à Marseille et le départ de la finale de Toulon à destination de Brest.  Diffusé le 15 juin 2021 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Clovis Tisserand

Shirley Robertson's guest this month is one of the most successful tacticians of the modern era.  From the America's Cup to the Whitbread, the Admirals Cup to the Sydney Hobart, New Zealand's Brad Butterworth has been at the sharp end of competitive sailing for his entire adult life, and has a grand prix sailing CV few could match.The duo sat down together at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland where Butterworth had been consulting for the official Challenger of record, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.  The pair kick things off by discussing various aspects of the thirty sixth America's Cup, including the adoption of the new Cup Class, the AC75, and Brad's role as mediator between the Challenger and the Defender.Sailing since his early school days, Butterworth has strong opinions on various aspects of the America's Cup, and as a winner of four consecutive Cups for two different nations, has more back to back race wins than any afterguard member in Cup history, a fact that in 2004 saw him honoured in the America's Cup Hall of Fame.  In Part 1 of this two part podcast, Robertson and Butterworth  talk about his days campaigning with Sir Peter Blake, in the Whitbread Race of 1995, a race that saw 'Steinlager II' dominate the fleet, a fact that had a great effect on the up and coming Butterworth, but in Part 2 the talk centres on Butterworth's successes in the America's Cup, winning  for New Zealand in 1995, successfully defending the Cup on home waters in 2000 and then, in a move hugely unpopular with the sailing mad New Zealand public, moving from Team New Zealand to Swiss rivals and eventual 2003 winners Alinghi...:"It was crazy, it was madness, they were trying to put bullet proof vests on us when we towed out, he (Coutts) had protection, I had protection, a lot of the guys, Kiwis, had protection....they started a movement called Blackheart, which was a great name, for a group that hated us guys.  It got out of control.  They tried to make it as hard as they possibly could to leave here and compete."As an insight into the behind the scenes goings on at the highest level of our sport, this two part podcast is a fascinating discussion with one of the most candid, high level names in sailing.  From nationality rules to classes of boat through to race formats and court cases, all told from the perspective of a man who openly admits few people would ever call him diplomatic.

Dave Austin is well known to many in the New Zealand and Australian sailing communities as Dr Dave. He’s sailed more than 40,000 offshore miles, done a number of Sydney Hobart races, a couple of two-handed Round North Island races and raced up to the Pacific Islands multiple times. He’s also one of the pre-eminent intensive care specialists in Australasia and in 2019 was nominated for Australian of the Year despite being a Kiwi. Dr Dave, who has assisted with a number of medical emergencies at sea and been Yachting New Zealand’s medical officer since 2015, talks about what yachties and boaties should do to make sure they are prepared if the worst happens. He also delves into some of his sailing experiences, like when he had to walk away from Digby Taylor’s Whitbread campaign in 1985, his dramatic experiences during the 2002 Round North Island Race when he was nearly washed onto the rocks at Cape Palliser and the time he was so sleep deprived he thought he saw a flock of sheep on the foredeck.

Throughout her broadcasting career one of Shirley Robertson's most interviewed of subjects must be US sailing's Ken Read. Currently in the top executive role at corporate sailing giant North Sails, his sailing history includes helming two America’s Cup campaigns, two Volvo Ocean Race campaigns, two US Sailor of the Year Awards and a trophy cabinet stacked with National and World Championship wins. Read a key figure in the sport, and has been on the other side of Robertson’s interview microphone on countless occasions and the result here is a candid and honest exchange, as the pair chat through Read’s early career and move into the corporate world at North Sails, through his early America’s Cup exploits and onto his Volvo Ocean Race campaigns as skipper of Puma, before discussing the future of the sport and Read’s involvement in the record breaking 100ft maxi ‘ComancheAs a young America's Cup skipper he was under the tutelage of America's Cup Hall of Famer Dennis Connor, and his early Cup recollections are peppered with accounts of his time spent with the US sailing legend. Read is candidly honest about his time sailing for Connor, and the revealing discussion about the 2000 and 2003 Cup Campaigns are as funny as they are insightful.As a special edition this month's podcast will be published in 2 Parts, so be sure to catch up with Part 2 when chat turns towards Read's time at the helm of the Volvo Ocean Race entry 'Puma' and his involvement in the revolutionary 100ft Maxi 'Comanche'.

Supermaxi Comanche takes Line Honours in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. The third for Comanche and the second for the Cooney family. Having been in a tug of war with fellow competitor Scallywag, Comanche took line honours after having nearly come to a standstill with the finish in sight. Luke Davis and Julian King spoke with skipper and owner Jim Cooney about his latest win that involved a shaky start and frustrating finish. Cooney shares that he just wanted to, "show the world what this boat can do," and that a calculated risk to go out wide helped the supermaxi claim the John H Illingworth Challenge Cup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#282. Liz Wardley is the current skipper of MAIDEN, the famous Whitbread yacht which saw the first all-girl crew complete the round-the-world race in 1989. Liz has never NOT been a professional racing skipper. Getting her first taste of sailing at age 13 on a Hobie cat, she was instantly hooked. At 15, she convinced her parents to let her drop out of school, and by 18 she was racing in the Sydney-Hobart race. Since then she’s done 3 Volvo Ocean Race’s and is aiming for another in next year’s event. Currently she’s working closely with MAIDEN founder Tracy Edwards to fulfill the goals of The MAIDEN Factor as they sail around the world with an all-girl crew. -- Celestial Nav workshop in Annapolis, Feb 1 & 2, 2020 at Eastport Yacht Club!

Katie continues the line of world class sailing champions who have translated their athletic success to leadership in their sport, business, and beyond.What success? How about three America's Cups, including being the youngest member of the first ever all-female boat, two around the world races, as well the famed Sydney Hobart and Worrell 1000 Extreme Catamaran Races.She's also a lawyer and is president of the Rising Tide Leadership Institute.She just got back from Olympic racing in Miami, which followed placing second in the Sydney Hobart race, sponsored by Ocean Respect Racing, who promotes reducing pollution.We talk about seeing plastic in the remote ocean as well as in much greater density closer to shore, especially America's shores. Around the world sailors see parts of our planet farthest from human establishment. Sadly, I've found it's a standard response that they've all seen plastic human junk however remote they've traveled.She also describes waves towering over her boat's 81-foot mast---that is, higher than an 8-storey building.

Skippering your boat for the first time in a Sydney Hobart Yacht Race can be a huge challenge, but one that is very achievable. In this episode, we've got some tips to help you start your journey to skippering your boat in the race!

On this month’s episode of The Sailing Show, Abby Ehler chats to two guests who have recently competed in the iconic Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.  First up Abby chats to sailing legend Dee Caffari, who competed with Ocean Respect Racing skipped by Australia’s Stacey Jackson.  Abby’s second guest is young, up and coming sailor Rosalin Kuiper, who chats about her experience sailing a 100ft maxi with the pro’s. Dee Caffari is a renowned British Sailor, who recently led ‘Turn the Tide on Plastic’ – the first mixed gender youth team to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017/18; with a strong sustainability message.  As part of the Ocean Respect Racing crew, made up of fully professional female crew, the team came within minutes of an overall win of the Sydney to Hobart Race, something crews spend years trying to attain.Rosalin Kuiper, 23, of the Netherlands, graduated from the Team Heiner Youth Academy in 2018, following 3 years of extensive training. The academy, run by Roy Heiner, covers all aspects of big boat sailing from boat handling to boat maintenance, mastering all the positions on board, racing by day and night, boat delivery, safety, and navigation etc. Rosalin’s ambition and perseverance saw her land a shore-side role with the 100ft maxi yacht INFOTRACK, vying for Sydney-Hobart line honors and through her hard work and work ethic she was offered a sailing position for the race itself, a dream job for anyone setting out on the professional sailing circuit.  For show notes and related links for this episode click HERE.

LISTEN ABOVE AS NIGEL YALDEN SPEAKS TO PJ MONTGOMERY AND PETER SHIPWAYWild Oats XI took out the 74th Sydney to Hobart yacht race for the record ninth time – but their win has again come under controversy.After being stripped on line honours last year because of a rules breach, Wild Oats XI are once again stung by accusations of rule breaking.The Mark Richards-skippered supermaxi snatched the lead from defending line honours champion Comanche to cross the line in Hobart shortly after 8am (local time).It was a satisfying win after last year's mishap which handed victory to rivals Comanche due to a rule breach and time penalty.However, Black Jack owner Peter Harburg and Skipper Mark Bradford raised a possible issue with an abnormality during the race, claiming that Wild Oats XI's Automation Identification System (AIS) – which must be operational at all times according to the rules – was not on for the entire race.The pair said they didn't plan to protest the result but suggested that the race committee investigate the matter."The rules say every boat must have the AIS on," Harburg said. "The AIS means there are no secrets. We know where everyone is, they know what speed we are doing, what direction we are going."If you are going to win the race you should win it according to the rules … it should be fair."[It's] a pity that such a great race as this, which has been a close race with all of us changing position all the way down … got bad at the end because someone just doesn't have any regard for the rules."Wild Oats XI navigator Juan Vila told The Daily Telegraph he believed the AIS was turned on for the entire race, while Richards dismissed the accusation."It's not a mandatory thing … we were in sight of each other the whole race, it was that close," Richards said.The quartet of Wild Oats XI, Black Track, Comanche and Infotrack was at times separated by just a few nautical miles before the eventual winners made a gamble to sail a wider route, which ended up paying off.Wild Oats XI finished in a time of one day, 19 hours, seven minutes and 21 seconds.What a win... We've done it! #wildoatsxi #RolexSydneyHobart pic.twitter.com/HOeBmPoyg2— Wild Oats XI (@WildOatsXI) December 27, 2018

In this episode I spent a session with Rod West, owner/skipper of Another Painkiller (a Beneteau First 44.7) and Philip Bell, owner/skipper of She (an Olsen 40) and we reflected on our preparation and race experience and did a post mortem of our entries in the 2017 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, our race results and the things we all did differently. 2017 was the first year that the Southport Yacht Club had seen 3 of its members enter this iconic ocean race and the conditions were amongst the best in the 73 year history, with the line honours record tumbling by several hours for the second year in a row.

I caught up with my favourite maritime author - Rob Mundle in late 2017, on 'all things Jimmy Spithill' and his recent project writing Jimmy's biography 'Chasing the Cup - My Americas Cup Journey'. Jimmy Spithill is arguably one of the world's greatest skippers: the youngest and a double winner of the America's Cup, winner of the Sydney Hobart; multiple world champion in match and fleet racing. What goes on inside the head of this extremely focused man, who is a true pioneer in the game called sailing? Rob shares some insights into this rags-to-riches story of fierce determination, court cases, seasickness, crashed boats and cars, the greatest comeback ever in sporting history and the dramatic 2017 America's Cup defence.     Rob also shares a preview of the 2017 Race Sydney Hobart and reflects on his 50th year of involvement in the race (3 as crew and 47 as commentator).   Visit Ocean Sailing Podcast for offshore sailing opportunities and podcast extras and follow us on Facebook.

After preparing my Beneteau yacht 'Ocean Gem' for our first ever Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, I decided to interview our crew 4 weeks after we completed the race and gather their thoughts on the project and their experience. It started in September 2017 when we assembled a crew of 10 and a prepared a long project list that grew to more than 200 items. In early December we departed the Gold Coast in Queensland for Sydney via Lord Howe Island (300nm off Australia's east coast). The 800nm delivery journey qualified our crew and yacht for the 630nm race of a lifetime. This is a great episode for those thinking of pushing their local club racing and blue water sailing to the next level. It demonstrates that with good preparation, anything is possible.
