This week Olympian and current Australian Sailor of the year Zoe Thomson. Zoe is a determined, confident sailor right at the top of the game. She exudes calm and it is working for her. She is from Western Australia, a place that is producing some of the best talent in the World in the ILCA class. We chat to her about her journey and we ask what is so special in the West. Its another fun chat. Enjoy!

It's Anzac Day in Oz and NZ this weekend. So we decided to reach out to who we believe to be the most successful sailor in Australia's defence forces, Rick Longbottom. Rick has been a standout sailor for a generation and a member of the Australian Navy. We wanted to hear what his sailing life has been like. And like any navy person, he is good with a story. You will enjoy this chat.

This week a young talent that is going places, German, (Maltese) 49er sailor Richard Schultheis. Richard has had brilliant results throughout his young career and he continues to improve. He is now focussed on making the Olympics and listening to him talk you just don't doubt he will. Have a listen and see what you think.
