This week we talk to the 49er FX pairing of Laura Harding and Annie Wilmot. Both champion youth sailors, they paired up in 2021 to pursue the 49er FX. They came oh so close to Olympic selection in '24 and now they are totally focussed on '28. We check in to see how the hard work is going for two young women who are always smiling.

The Moth Worlds are a couple of weeks away. At last years Worlds, we saw a youth attack led by Mattias Coutts. He walked away with the title at 19. Mattias has been training hard, preparing to defend his title, so we reached out for a chat to see how he was going. It was a great chat that descended into hilarity on many occasions. Enjoy.

We have rabbited on about this event for the years, the Stockholm Archipelago Raid. This year is a special edition, its the 25th running and they are doing the extreme course including a crossing to Finland. We reached out to Oscar Wetterling, a multiple participant and the last person to sink a boat during the race, (we think) to find out really what it is all about. Let us know if you would be keen to do it? Enjoy.
