This is an interview we have wanted to do for a while. Watching the Paris Olympic Windsurfing, we saw a dominant performance from Emma Wilson, but then come the final where one race decides all, we saw heartbreak. Emma is such a cool person, so much fun to hang out with, so when she was ready to chat we were ready and waiting. Have a listen and hear from a champion. We loved this chat and we know you will as well. Enjoy!

Here is an early present for you. I have to catch a plane.
A great chat with the Australians Womens AC team. We know we have been Aussie centric for this cup, but we really want to see and Australian Cup team, and these ladies have been awesome over the last 18 months. They share some great insight. You will enjoy it.

This is a cracker of an episode. A great chat with Cole and Max that takes you right onboard the AC40 talking in detail about sailing the boat, the racing and the lessons. The boys were a great interview and shared a lot. Enjoy.
And for our post interview segment, that banter there may be some of the funniest ever, except for the beer tasting episode obviously...
Sorry it is late, but it is here now.

This week we throw two topics into the mix. We get our guest to discuss the cup from an outsider looking in. But also take the time to discuss life as a sailmaker when you are running an independent loft. Dave has been making sails under the name Alexander Sails for 35+ years. He lives in the skiff, VX One, dinghy, small boat World. Dave is a real thinker, and has added real value to many sailing campaigns over the years. You will enjoy his insights.

The IOM World Championships in Gladstone Australia are 1 month away. So we took a look at this high intensity, remote control racing class. The International One Metre is the most contested RC class in the World and you have to qualify to make the World Championships. Over the last 12 months, Croatia's Zvonko Jelacic has been unbeatable. He already has 3 World Championship wins. So we thought we would ask him what the secret to success in IOM's is...

Whilst the Cup is on, running at the same time has been the E series, where competitors are racing each other in AC40's at home using the SIM modelling created for the Cup. The top 6 competitors plus 2 wildcards will be flown to Barcelona for the finals at the end of September. They will race for prize money and the top 2 will also sail the AC40's for real in a race. Rocky is one of 5 who have qualified so far. The Bermudan sailor is well known around the traps campaigning a Finn and a TP52 and well, he reckons he owes his career to Bicey!! Whether you like Video games or not, this Ep will blow your mind!!

This week we start the first of what we are calling the peoples panel. We are getting people to analyse the cup. Lots of different people with different perspective. This week we start with two of our favourites Rob and Nick Deussen, father and son on fathers day. Nick was Australian president of the Moth class and Rob is a former AC tactician and probably the person we have mentioned most on this show. Cup analysis done different. We hope you like it.
