Advice and adventures from Antarctica to Svalbard and everywhere in between

Today's guest, Amanda Swan, has decades of sailing experience and she has a wealth of knowledge about all things sailing. It’s not often that I talk about so many different things in one interview but in this one we cover: things to know about rigging, her sailing experience in both polar regions, and in all the amazing places in between. We also talk about what stands out to her from her experience of sailing around the world onboard Maiden in the Whitbread Round the World Race, and share a lot of good resources for anyone interested in the sailing lifestyle. Trust me, this episode is a good one! ⬇️ Links and resourcesBooks written by Amanda: Marine Diesel Engine Essentials - a Learning and Colouring BookThe Essential Galley CompanionRigging Books Amanda recommends: The Complete Rigger's Apprentice by Brion Toss: Tools and Techniques for Modern and Traditional RiggingThe Sailmaker's Apprentice: A Guide for the Self-reliant Sailor by Emiliano MarinoIllustrated Sail & Rig Tuning: Genoa & mainsail trim, spinnaker & gennaker, rig tuning by Ivar DedekamSailing School where Amanda teaches: Great Escape Sailing, New Zealand🟡 Let's be social!Come find me and fellow listeners on Instagram or Facebook, and let's keep the conversation going.
