Swallows & Amazons, Greek Chartering, and the Great Tender Debate | Ep. 25

Grab a cup of tea (or a cold beer) and join Theo Stocker and Toby Heppell for Episode 25 of The Sailing Podcast as the Sailing Geeks return to dissect four classic nautical topics.

In this episode:

• Sailing Literature Recommendations: From childhood inspiration in Lake Windermere to the harrowing disaster of the 1998 Sydney Hobart Race and the last trading clippers.
• The Charter Selling Points: Why even die-hard UK boat owners should consider a warm-water Mediterranean or Caribbean charter holiday.
• Flotilla vs. Bareboat: How organized flotillas take the stress out of family cruising and create instant community on the water.
• The Great SUP Debate: Can an inflatable paddleboard serve as a genuine ship-to-shore tender, or do you need a proper inflatable boat?
• Inflatable Tender Masterclass: The pros and cons of RIBs, air-V floors, lightweight PVC fabrics, catamaran tenders, and sailable dinghies.
