This week we try and make keel boat racing easier, cheaper, more fun and more appealing for all. After our ORC discussion (Episode 335) I had a phone call from an old mate, Brett Whitbread. He had some frustrations about IRC and handicapping systems in Australia, but rather than just whinge, he had some ideas to improve it. We run through these ideas this week and present them to the World. It could be a game changer. We are really interested to hear your thoughts. Enjoy!

This week we are all about the F18 Worlds starting in Perth WA. We discuss the venue, the competition and the class. We had four guests, Mark Parker, Gavin Colby, Bevin Grimes and Jeanette Kinsey. Four different views and approaches to F18 sailing. If you want to know more about this class, it will be a great ep for you.

Last week we saw the big announcement from American Magic of their new training facility and their partnership with SailGP. American Magic state that they hope to help grow sailing through their efforts in Pensacola, so of course we reached out to our old mate Tyson Lamond, COO of American Magic to find out all about what is happening and there is plenty to discuss. Enjoy.
