'The sailors who seem most content have the smallest, rubbishest boats ' | The Sailing Pod Ep.17
<p>Picture this: It's a dark, wet evening in Salcombe. A massive 40-foot cruising yacht pulls up to the pontoon, and the skipper is screaming at his terrified teenage kids because they cleated a line wrong. The holiday is ruined, the crew is miserable, and the skipper is utterly disappointed in himself. How do we avoid becoming that grumpy, overwhelmed dad?</p><br><p>Welcome to The Sailing Podcast, <a href="https://bit.ly/4tkrUrk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sponsored by Sunsail.</a> This week host, Theo Stocker and his guest.

Comedy, calamity and happy memories as Monty learns to sail | Sailing Podcast Ep.16
<p>What happens when a professional adventurer – a man who has dived with crocodiles and worked as a Cornish crab fisherman – meets a 7-ton Colvic 34 in a crowded marina? You get a masterclass in humility. </p><br><p>In episode 16 of The Sailing Podcast, sponsored by Sunsail, host Theo Stocker sat down with Monty Halls to hear how he’s getting on three years into his sailing journey. From his 'rodent-sized' therapy dog to the 3D-printed parts saving his prop shaft, Monty shares the highs and lows of life with his boat, Sobec. </p><br><p>It’s a hilarious, honest, and deeply relatable look at why we keep heading back out to sea, even when we’re convinced the boat is trying to kill us.</p><br><p>This episode is made possible by our sponsors, Sunsail. Whether you’re a seasoned skipper or just starting to fill your 'experience jar' like Monty, Sunsail makes getting on the water easy.

VR Headsets and Starlink: How to Run a Sailing School from a Remote Anchorage | The Sailing Pod Ep15
<p>Imagine dodging unpredictable ice floes in Antarctica, putting film crews in position for that perfect David Attenborough shot, and then—after a decade of professional high-stakes sailing—deciding the real adventure is actually a 42-foot cruiser, a three-year-old daughter, and a Wi-Fi signal in the Hebrides.</p><br><p>In this episode, Theo Stocker is joined by Charlie and Ed Hewitt of Ardent Training. They found a quiet corner at the Southampton Boat Show aboard a new Bavaria C46 to talk about their transition from professional whale-research skippers to "digital nomads."</p><br><p>They dive into how they’ve built a global online sailing school from the cabin of an 80s yacht, the reality of "working from bed" using a VR headset to escape the rain in Scotland, and why they traded the stress of Antarctic expeditions for the freedom of following the wind—wherever it happens to be blowing that day.</p><br><p>Brought to You By</p><p>This episode is made possible by our friends at Sunsail.
