Welcome to YARNS; Conversations with Cruisers, A Sailing Podcast

James Frederick sits down with sailors he meets around the world to record their seas stories in remote anchorages and far-flung ports. All the interviews are recorded as a video podcast that is released on the Sailing Triteia YouTube Channel. They are also being made available as an audio podcast for those who prefer this format of content. 

On this episode I interview Lin Pardey and David Haigh onboard David’s 40-foot steel Van de Stadt sloop, Sahula. If you know anything about sailing, Lin needs no introduction. Her books have inspired millions of people to get out and see the world onboard small boats. She was one of the main reasons I thought this sailing dream, on a small boat with a limited budget. I had only just met David on the day of this interview but had done a bit a research on him ahead of time and read about his 11 year circumnavigation that was a combination of solo and short handed sailing taking him to unique places in the world, off the normal circumnavigation routes.

On this episode James interview’s Dave & Jaja Martin about their wild life of sailing a modified Cal 25 around the world and starting a family during the circumnavigation. With the arrival of their third child they upgraded to a steel 33ft boat, Driver, and headed for the arctic where whey over wintered in the ice year after year living in Newfoundland, Iceland, and the Lofoten Islands of Norway. This interview was a special treat because it was the first time I have interviewed two generations of sailors in the same family.

Their daughter Holly Martin was on the podcast back in June of 2023 : https://youtu.be/gTMg8n-s0_U

Thanks again to the Martin Family for having me over to your beautiful home for dinner and to spin some yarns and thanks to Holly for making it happen.

On this episode James interview’s Dennis and Barbara of SV Landfall shortly after they reached New Zealand from crossing the Tasman Sea. We talk about Dennis’ solo ocean passages, about how he met and fell in love with Barbara and about how she joined him for full time cruising in Chile after he short handed Cape Horn on his Shannon 37, SV Landfall.

For the Tasman Sea crossing Dennis and Barbara were joined by her daughter Allison and her partner James who made a beautiful film of the passage that can be seen on their Youtube Channel : https://youtu.be/wF303vA5K5Y?si=l9b8_pLZqBIDe5Z4
