It was great to catch up with legendary sailing journalist Andy Rice to discuss some of our highlights of the 2025 sailing season.
In this chat we discuss:
- The Seldén Sailjuice Winter Series, now in it's 17th year, which Andy founded back in 2009.
- SailGP, how the circuit is evolving, some of Andy's idea of what would be good and his writing for the New York Times
- Live coverage of the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 World Championship, where Andy commentated alongside Dutch 49erFX Olympic gold medallist Odile van Aanholt
- His own sailing in the Musto Skiff, including competing in the iconic Lord Birkett Trophy at Ullswater in the Lake District
Sit back and enjoy the sailing chat, and wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
