This week we discuss the iconic Australian sailing class The Sharpie. The Sharpie is a fantastic class that is very popular. The combination of a three person crew, close racing, fun regattas and affordability make it very appealing. And with their Nationals in Port Lincoln and each of us having sailed them, we couldn't resist. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

This is a massive episode, so much to cover. First we chat to Andrea Davey as she starts her campaign for the 2027 Mini Transat. Another young sailor who is risking it all for her shot.

Then we chat to Sarah Desmond from Final Final, to get the other side of boat ownership. And then we chat to Suellen Hurling from Live Sail Die to follow up on the PIC Coastal Classic in NZ. Enjoy!

We found Bice, so we chatted with him about all the stuff that he has been doing the last few weeks (Maxi Worlds, St Tropez) and what next week has to offer, (Middle Sea Race). We also discuss my plans to attend Annapolis Sailboat Show, (which were destroyed by ridiculous flight delays). It was a lot of fun. Enjoy.

This week we chat to Sara Stone, navigator for the World Champion American Magic Quantum Racing TP52 team, skipper of the American Magic womens AC team, and a member of Team Aqua, the RC44 team. Sara has one of the most amazing paths to becoming a pro sailor and talking to her it is obvious how professional she is with everything she does. It's a great listen.

This week we chat to the new Finn World Champion, Deniss Karpak. The Estonian sailor has just won the Finn Gold Cup in Cascais in Portugal. It was a true mix of conditions and his consistency won the day. The Gold Cup win has been a dream for Deniss for many years and after 4 years out of the class he came back to the Finn and made it happen.

We also focus in on some of the many World Champs that have been happening this week including Nick Bice winning the Maxi World Championship’s.
