The Sailing Podcast: Hove-to & hanging on – The truth about man overboard recovery

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.

What happens when you mix a lee shore, a dark November night, and a jib sheet wrapped around your propeller? You get one of the many “cock-up” stories featured in this second instalment of our Sailing Nerds special, brought to you by the MCA.

Hosts Theo Stocker (Editor of Yachting Monthly) and Toby Heppell (Group Digital Editor for Future Publishing’s Marine group) sit down at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club to share their most embarrassing maritime mistakes, from RNLI rescues to “slow-motion” marina crashes.

Beyond the blunders, the duo dives deep into the realities of Man Overboard (MOB) recovery for short-handed crews and kicks off a high-stakes round of Fantasy Boat Shopping—this time with a hypothetical £1 million budget.

Make sure you subscribe to The Sailing Podcast on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you usually get your podcasts.
