This week Brad and Andrew are joined by Amanda Ayliffe. Brad is just about to set sail for Portugal on his Rustler 36 this week if there is enough wind. Andrew is back into racing with COGS and the weekly series. They are joined by Amanda to talk about her interesting life of sailing, from Hong Kong where she was born to parents in the military and where her love of sailing began. With her husband Martin who she met at university, the couple returned to the water with a Lark dinghy sailing at Wraysbury, near Heathrow, before moving to Cornwall and sailing in Falmouth. Amanda is about to join an all female crew with eXXpedition to study ocean plastics in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand and then on to Tonga.
