The Mini Transat is a 4,050 nautical mile race from Les Sables d’Olonne in France to Saint-François in Guadeloupe, with a stopover in Santa Cruz de La Palma. This race has acquired the reputation of a true test of ocean racing and for good reason, it’s a single handed, without outside assistance or weather routing by satellite in a 6.5m boat.

Abby's second guest is Erica Dawson from Aukland, New Zealand, competing in her first Olympic Games in the Nacra 17 class, a mixed crew, foiling catamaran with Micah Wilkinson. Erica’s dream of going to an Olympic Games were initially in the 49erFX but she switched to the foiling catamaran in 2018, firstly as helm, before teaming up with Micah in the middle of 2019 and switching to crew. The pair showed their huge potential when finishing seventh at the Nacra 17 World Championships in Geelong, Australia and they are coached by two-time Olympic medallist Jo Aleh. Erica suffered a huge setback in training five weeks out from the Games, and we hear about the incident, her coping strategy and her experience at Tokyo.

Joan had been thinking about how much she would love to hear from other female offshore sailors talking about their experiences of motherhood and raising a family alongside their sailing careers. So the aim of this podcast is to delve into the topic of Motherhood and a sailing related career, with the aim of chatting to guests Carolijn Brouwer and Maria Bertrand to talk about their experiences and share any advice to those, like Joan, who are about to enter into the new world of being a mum and many others who are wondering how on earth it is possible to juggle such an unconventional job with being a parent.
Carolijn Brouwer has successfully navigated the balance of sailing as a career and being a mother, Carolijn many of you will already know is an experienced dinghy and offshore sailor, having won the last edition of The Volvo Ocean Race with DongFeng Race Team. 
Maria Bertrand will be a little less known to the sailing world from the outside, however she is certainly no less important and is a master of sailing team logistics and a natural born organiser.  Maria, has two children, now aged eight and four, and has worked for five editions of the Volvo Ocean Race.

Joan had been thinking about how much she would love to hear from other female offshore sailors talking about their experiences of motherhood and raising a family alongside their sailing careers. So the aim of this podcast is to delve into the topic of Motherhood and a sailing related career, with the aim of chatting to guests Carolijn Brouwer and Maria Bertrand to talk about their experiences and share any advice to those, like Joan, who are about to enter into the new world of being a mum and many others who are wondering how on earth it is possible to juggle such an unconventional job with being a parent.
Carolijn Brouwer has successfully navigated the balance of sailing as a career and being a mother, Carolijn many of you will already know is an experienced dinghy and offshore sailor, having won the last edition of The Volvo Ocean Race with DongFeng Race Team. 
Maria Bertrand will be a little less known to the sailing world from the outside, however she is certainly no less important and is a master of sailing team logistics and a natural born organiser.  Maria, has two children, now aged eight and four, and has worked for five editions of the Volvo Ocean Race.

Abby Eheler takes a closer look at foiling sailing and chatting to two sailors who have launched themselves into foiling, specifically with the WASZP class dinghy.  First Elise Beavis who is based in Auckland, and has become a WASZP sailor and Performance Engineer with Emirates Team New Zealand. Then British based Hattie Rogers, who has come up through the ranks of youth sailing and recently tackled the transition from 29er skiff to the WASZP.  We learn a lot about WASZP as both girls share their experiences and top tips for any sailor aspiring to foil.
