Abby’s guest on the season finale of The Sailing Show is Spanish sailor, Demila Tassin who has recently returned from competing in the Mini Transat Race for the first time. The Mini Transat is a race Djemila had been dreaming of for the past five years and we hear about her journey to the start line, the challenges, the highs and lows and what she has learnt from this unique experience.
The Mini Transat is a 4,050 nautical mile race from Les Sables d’Olonne in France to Saint-François in Guadeloupe, with a stopover in Santa Cruz de La Palma. This race has acquired the reputation of a true test of ocean racing and for good reason, it’s a single handed, without outside assistance or weather routing by satellite in a 6.5m boat.

Her first guest is Susann Beucke from Germany, for which Tokyo was her third attempt to compete at the Games.

The pair showed their huge potential when finishing seventh at the Nacra 17 World Championships in Geelong, Australia and they are coached by two-time Olympic medallist Jo Aleh. Erica suffered a huge setback in training five weeks out from the Games, and we hear about the incident, her coping strategy and her experience at Tokyo.

On this edition of The Sailing Show, Abby talks to Nina Curtis from Australia and Olivia Mackay from New Zealand, both of whom have recently returned from Sail GP’s first event of Season 2 in Bermuda. Nina and Liv have quite literally been inserted into the deep end of high performance sailing on the F50 foiling catamaran.

In the short term, SailGP aims to fast-track the development of top female sailors to race on the F50s, with an overall goal of achieving gender equity by 2025. Bermuda was the first Sail GP event where 15 female sailors were part of the respective sailing teams for training and practice racing. We hear from Nina and Liv about how that experience went.

On this episode Abby Ehler and Joan Mulloy, co-host to discuss motherhood in sailing. Joan is one of Ireland’s most inspiring young sailors, having represented her country on the global racing stage. In 2018, Joan became the first Irish woman to represent her country at the high-profile international Solitaire Le Figaro race. Her ultimate ambition is to be the first Irish person to complete the Vendée Globe, a solo round-the-world race.
Joan has some very exciting yet challenging news not only of navigating the COVID environment but also that she is pregnant and expecting her first baby in September. Joan had been thinking about how much she would love to hear from other female offshore sailors talking about their experiences of motherhood and raising a family alongside their sailing careers. So the aim of this podcast is to delve into the topic of Motherhood and a sailing related career, with the aim of chatting to guests Carolijn Brouwer and Maria Bertrand to talk about their experiences and share any advice to those, like Joan, who are about to enter into the new world of being a mum and many others who are wondering how on earth it is possible to juggle such an unconventional job with being a parent.
Carolijn Brouwer has successfully navigated the balance of sailing as a career and being a mother, Carolijn many of you will already know is an experienced dinghy and offshore sailor, having won the last edition of The Volvo Ocean Race with DongFeng Race Team.
Maria Bertrand will be a little less known to the sailing world from the outside, however she is certainly no less important and is a master of sailing team logistics and a natural born organiser. Maria, has two children, now aged eight and four, and has worked for five editions of the Volvo Ocean Race.
