Ep. 28: The Sailing Geeks – America’s Cup Tech, GPS Jamming & Best Sailing Movies

The Sailing Geeks are back! In Episode 28 of The Sailing Podcast, host Theo Stocker is joined by Toby Heppell for another deep-dive, slightly opinionated, and completely unscripted chat about the boats, tech, and culture that make sailing great.

In this episode, Theo and Toby tackle three wildly different nautical subjects:

The Best (and Worst) Sailing Films: Why Hollywood rarely gets sailing physics right, why Waterworld is actually good, and "Break out the Whomper!"

The America’s Cup Arms Race: Is modern foiling just "computer gaming at 50 knots," or is it the pinnacle of our sport?

Paper vs. Electronic Navigation: Theo recounts deliberately turning off his GPS in the middle of the English Channel to see what happens when modern tech fails + The real-world threat of GPS jamming, electronic warfare, and Russian dark-fleet tankers in European waters.
