Laura Dekker, World Sailing Foundation - The Ocean Cruisers Podcast - Chat 55 Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

This week im having a chat with Laura Dekker from the Laura Dekker World Sailing Foundation
Laura made the history books back in 2010 when at the age of 14 she became the youngest person ever to attempt to sail around the world. It took place after a long fought battle with the Dutch government and became international headlines sparking a global debate, surrounding parental rights.
Laura was born and grew up on the water and her father being a cruiser himself taught her how to manage and maintain a vessel from being a child. She worked and saved up enough to buy a Jeanneau Gin Fizz Ketch fixer upper named Guppy and spent years with her father getting the boat ready for the voyage.
In 2012 she completed the journey becoming the youngest person to solo circumnavigate the planet
In the years since Laura has set up the Laura Dekker World Sailing Foundation, an organisation that takes children sailing around the world, helping them develop life skills, build their character work with other children as a team on her new boat, a Robert Perry designed Scorpio 72

Show notes

It has been a year and a half since we did the first podcast with Ryan and Sophie and a lot has changed for them, They have done some more ocean crossings with a full Atlantic circuit, performed a bunch of upgrades to their boat and Ryan has completed a pretty dramatic solo Atlantic crossing east to west from the canaries to Cape Verde then to the Caribbean. They are now in the process of planning a refit on their boat to sail north for next season through to the Great Lakes.

Most notably they have developed an online training course for new and experienced sailors with the travel company Bright Trip called Sailing The World. They have spent over a year researching, preparing and filming for the course encapsulating all of the lessons they have learned crossing oceans and cruising the med and the Caribbean.

If you want to check out their sailing course visit their website ryanandsophie.com and click on “sailing course” in the navigation bar where part one is now available. If you want to follow their journey visit their YouTube channel which is called Ryan and Sophie Sailing.

Show notes

This week on The Ocean Cruisers podcast I’m having a chat with David Shih

David was cruising around the USA living van life when him and his wife decided to buy a boat.

They chose to go with the Lagoon 450 and unfortunately were the victim of the bulkhead and structural beam situation.

David decided to take the boat to Panama to meet up with his friend who was already fixing up his boat with the same issues.

He then spent over a year on the hard in Panama re-building his boat back to a safe standard, and probably now sails, the strongest Lagoon ever built.

We also did a recording with David for the admiralty show talking in more details about the re-build so check that out on YouTube if you want to know more.
