The Sailing Podcast: How to Run a Sailing School from a Remote Anchorage

From the team behind Practical Boat Owner, Yachting Monthly, and Yachting World comes a new sailing podcast, simply named: The Sailing Podcast.

Yachting Monthly’s editor, Theo Stocker hosts an array of amazing sailors to talk all things boat and adventurers. We aim to bring you the most fascinating and inspiring stories from a wide and eclectic bunch of people we’ll be featuring.

But all you really need to know is, if you’re into sailing in any way, The Sailing Podcast is a must-listen. Subscribe today and make sure you never miss an episode.

 

In this episode, Theo Stocker is joined by Charlie and Ed Hewitt of Ardent Training. They found a quiet corner at the Southampton Boat Show aboard a new Bavaria C46 to talk about their transition from professional whale-research skippers to “digital nomads.”

They dive into how they’ve built a global online sailing school from the cabin of an 80s yacht, the reality of “working from bed” using a VR headset to escape the rain in Scotland, and why they traded the stress of Antarctic expeditions for the freedom of following the wind—wherever it happens to be blowing that day.
