Sailfaster: The No 1 podcast for racing sailors

We’re switching to offshore racing in the Southern Pacific/Australia for this episode!  Richard Hudson has racked up over 150 offshore races of 200 miles or more, including multiple Rolex Sydney-Hobart Races, 34 Sydney-Gold Coast Races, China Sea races, Hong Kong to Philippines, Hong Kong to Vietnam, the 600 mile New Caledonia Groupama Race and many more.  Richard is the owner of Farr 45 Pretty Woman, a proud Corinthian and a member of the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club. He’s a winner of the Hobart race’s Corinthian division and Wild Rose division, as well as many podium finishes in IRC.  Richard was awarded Cruising Yacht Club of Australia’s 2023 Ocean Veteran of the Year.  
 
What makes Richard stand out is his emphasis on bringing younger sailors into the sport.   Pretty Woman’s crew blends deep offshore experience with younger sailors from the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, enabling many young sailors to experience offshore racing at its toughest.
 
A fascinating discussion with a top ocean racing veteran!
