Choosing The Right Boat
Manage episode 306138401 series 2853624
We dive deep into the boat selection process with Pippa Turton and Mike Firestone. We consider and discuss: what makes a good first boat, what size makes sense, considering cruising plans and goals, assessing your own skills, budget considerations, sailing before refit, priority features, and more.
Pippa Turton is a long time RYA sailing instructor, who's sailed thousands of miles on a variety of boats in Europe and Caribbean. She currently runs Girls Go Sailing aims, which aims to build confidence in female sailors through good training, and experience.
Mike Firestone is a marine surveyor, who's been in the business for decades. He's sailed many boats and surveyed thousands more!
