Together they explore why today's boats are faster, lighter and easier to sail, yet racing often remains rooted in another era. They discuss the rise of double-handed sailing, the philosophy of \"effortless joy of planing,\" why fun should come before handicap rules, and what the future of sailing could look like. Whether you're a racer or cruiser, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on where our sport is heading.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SdG-9dNUER0-6ZojsqMY3BuquVrz5x4SMeUCoAPG__Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80ZDgw/MDQyZGJhMDRiOTMx/YjgwYTM2YTg5MmJh/OGU2ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
