Podcast 182: Moonraker to the High Latitudes

It's a small sailing world. A beautiful aluminium world grinder, which I had been druling over, docked just a few berts away from mine, was sold to Martin Hartland and Svetlana Baraniuk. Now they have signed up for Jimmy Cornell's High Latitude Challenge 2026-27. So I had to make a podcast with Martin as they were preparing for their first transatlantic in Moonraker - and then the quest to sail to Antarctica and through the North West passage in the same season.

Check out Cornell Sailing for more information about the High Latitude Challenge, and please also check out all the books he has written. No onboard bookshelf is complete with at least three books from Jimmy Cornell.

If you are interested in High Latitude Sailing, I have written a book by the same tittle together with Bob Shepton. You can buy High Latitude Sailing on Amazon.
