Furled Sails – They call themselves the “World’s First Sailing Podcast” based in North America. A two part interview with me, Michael Storer about boat design, boat construction, rig choices and more.
Anyway, last week Christy and Noel called me up chatted to me for a couple of hours.
So they have an interview with me on their site followed by a part 2.
It is now 2022, I wonder how much I have changed in 14 years (apart from girth).
This looks like the permanent link:
Part 1 – Interview/Podcast with Michael Storer about Boat Design 2008
This is the original interview – it talks about storerdesign differences, why lightweight structures are best (if you don’t have to sacrifice anything but the weight – why not) and my low cost performance “philosophy”.
I was frightfully nervous – I am much happier typing than I am talking
Part 2 – Interview/Podcast with Michael Storer about Sailing Rigs 2008
This week we talk about traditional vs modern sailtypes – everyone knows I am a fan of trad rigs because of their low cost – but here I go into the influences on the other side.
I love the efficiency of modern rigs so I use all the same methods on the traditional rigs to get brilliant performance.
Also I’ll tell you EXACTLY why you should never name a boat in haste.
Best wishes
