Inside Short-Handed Offshore Racing with Theo Stocker & Toby Heppell | Ep. 24
Description
Welcome back to a special edition of The Sailing Podcast! In Episode 24, we bring back our occasional sub-series, The Sailing Geeks, where host Theo Stocker is joined by Toby Heppell at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club to chew the cud on all things sailing.
This episode is dedicated entirely to the 2026 Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race, a legendary 600-mile, short-handed offshore adventure that takes sailors from Cornwall to Ireland, Brittany, and back again.
Theo and Toby reflect on the history of the event, the unique Corinthian camaraderie of double-handed sailing, and the wild weather that saw the 30-boat fleet gale-bound in Kinsale by 50-knot gusts. Featuring exclusive interviews directly from the finish line in Fowey, hear real-world stories from the sailors who took on the challenge.
