Well, Tempesta went sailing yesterday. Sure he did. Listen to his lame version of sailing. Also, he rips into ORC, his most favorite rating system in the whole wide world!

Tempesta offers up a pretty funny story that some of you may have missed, he gives you some Hot Rum Series ingo (via DC), and jumps in on the recently completed IOM nationals. 

All that and a bag of chips.

 Today we spoke to legendary sailor Moose McClintock about an array of subjects, starting with America dropping out of the America's Cup, The NYYC Rolex Cup in the IC 37's, where the sport is thriving, where it isn't, etc. 

Love that dude. Enjoy!

Charlie Enright, the new CEO of US Sailing, joined us today for a robust discussion of all things sailing, er, US Sailing! 

Engaging and bright, Charlie takes us down the often muddy road of US Sailing - where's it been, where it is, and where it wants to go!

This is a fantastic interview, and I hope you enjoy it!

You say you'd like to win the Chicago Mackinac race? Well, maybe you didn't win that one, but how about the
The Bayview to Mackinac race, which starts a week earlier. No?

How about winning them both, in the same year? That's exactly what Bob Hughes, owner of the TP 52 Heartbreaker did this summer!

Bob shares what those races were like and how they pulled off the double. Enjoy!

Today, we talk with Quantum San Diego's Eric Heim, who just helped drive the Cal 40 Restless to both its class and Overall win in the just-completed 2025 Transpac.

A great story with plenty of good stuff. And apologies - like an idiot, I hit the wrong button and the last couple minutes didn't record!

Today, Tempesta whines about the fact that he can't get crew - waa! Dude nobody wants to sail with an old man on an old boat.

Reality bites! And so does he!

Tempesta is back! Yay? Whatever, he rambles on about the America's Cup, and yes, even manages to talk about his dopey Hobie 33. 

Jeez, give it a rest! Now you give it a listen!

I had the chance to sail in the uber-competitive SDYC J/22  Beercan Series last night and man, was that fun, and humbling! 

20 teams sailed in two flights - silver and gold - we were in silver of course, but had a couple nice finishes and a couple I'd rather not talk about, but I will. Listen!

 Today Scot Tempesta talks to Alex Camet live from onboard the Swan 60 Good Call as they make their way down the coast of Southern California on the Newport to Ensenada Race. Super cool to have a chat from the water.

And of course Bigmouth Strikes Again, with his nonsensical rant about The America's Cup. Enough already!

So for all the nonsense your editor here has spewed about his beater Hobie 33, it finally came time to deliver.

And if you know Tempesta, you know that he rarely delivers, and his first race on said Hobie 33 was this past Saturday. We'll let him try to talk his way out of fth in class and 19th overall.

This oughta be good!

Today, Tempesta goes on and on about his GD Hobie 33.   He tells us that y'all love this sort of thing? 

It looks pretty good until you realize Danny Devito couldn't stand up inside. What the hell is he thinking? Oh that's right, that's not his strong suit.

He also briefly dives into the well-worn US SailGP team with lukewarm and predictable results. But wait, there's more...
