Listening During Lockdown-conversations with Classic boats

With about 17 of Australia’s 26 million people confined to their homes, SWS suggests a few activities.

Even when we are cooped up at home there are times when a peaceful feed of audio works better than the sensory bombardment of a film. If thats the case for you, you could do worse than listen to a few of Tom Darling’s podcasts. In his conversations Tom uncovers the stories behind classic boats and their designs. So far there are 13 episodes ranging in topics from Carlton Mitchell’s famous S&S designed FINISTERRE, to the Golden Age of the 6 metres, to the Restoration of an International One Design.

Tom’s style is quiet and laid back, but he lures you into his world, speaking in what I imaging is soft Connecticut accent, with knowledge and authority on the world of East Coast American Classic Yacht Sailing.
