Summary

RECYCLED #99. Gary Jobson is one of the few household names in the American sailing world. He's is a former All-American collegiate sailor and won the America's Cup in 1977 as tactician for Ted Turner. Gary then became a professional broadcaster & producer, working for ESPN and other national media organizations, and more recently has done the TV announcing work for the recent America's Cups. He's an Editor at Large for both Sailing World & Cruising World Magazines. He continues to sail out of his homeport in Annapolis and remains one of America's strongest sailing ambassadors. I had the privilege to sit down with Gary in his home office in Annapolis back in April of 2015 to talk about his career. This episode originally aired as #99. Enjoy!

Today's recycled episode of On the Wind is presented by 59 North. That's us. Mia and I have made it a

0:19.1

goal in 2018 to refine our mission statement of sharing the

0:22.6

wisdom of the high seas with those wise enough to seek it out. And we've accomplished that in a

0:27.3

couple of ways. First, join us on East Bjorn for an incredible offshore sailing experience on

0:32.2

our Swan 48, an all-time ocean sailing machine. She's newly refit and we're excited to try out all the systems this summer in the Arctic.

0:39.9

We're sailing 10,000 miles per year and have some exciting plans coming up in the Arctic, Atlantic, and beyond, maybe the Pacific,

0:47.6

and we're about to launch our 2020 calendar.

0:50.0

So check back often on 59-north.com slash offshore for updated routes, dates, and bunk availability.

Second, we've just launched a new podcast called How I Think About Sailing, which is precisely what the title implies.

1:04.3

So please go check that out if you haven't already.

1:07.2

It's got its own podcast feed, and we're encouraging listener participation.

1:12.3

It's our way of answering your questions and getting the information out to as wide an audience as possible.

1:17.1

And lastly, we love meeting people face-to-face and talking sailing, so we've always got a few

1:21.2

workshops on the calendar, mainly in Annapolis, on things like offshore sailing in general and my

1:25.8

personal favorite, celestial navigation.

1:28.3

The workshops are limited in numbers so we can have a nice and personal interaction.

1:32.9

You can find dates and info for those on 59-north.com slash events.

1:39.3

We hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoy making it,

1:42.3
