Love Sailfaster - I’ve taken away so many useful tips from the chats with top sailors. I keep a notebook next to me when listening! So many sailing podcasts are too general, or feature crusty and boring old guys. Sailfaster is different - I like the self-deprecating vibe the British host brings to the conversation, I suspect it’s disarming and prompts the interviewees to spill their beans on what makes them better racers!

Thanks for bringing the pod I’ve been waiting for years!! There’s enough inspirational armchair stuff out there, usually served with a lot of host ego, so can’t be happier with this one. It dares to shoot to a narrow audience of actual sailors who are obsessed with getting around the course faster. And it does it superbly, with the wit and charm that Brits excel on, good quality audio and engaging guests that really get us salty dogs ready to try new tricks on the water.

I love this show. Every episode provides multiple takeaways to improve your sail racing. The host as student is a great format because we all have something to learn. The diverse stories and advice are not just helpful but thought provoking and entertaining. I look forward to many more episodes.
