Summary

#334. We met Marcus Hutchinson in Kinsale, Ireland after ICEBEAR's trans-Atlantic, having been referred to him by one of our former crew who used to be his neighbor. Marcus has been deeply involved in the high-end racing scene for most of his career, first as a naval architect with Rob Humphries, later as editor of Seahorse Magazine, on America's Cup campaigns, and now as a coach and mentor for major solo ocean sailing campaigns including the Figaro and Vendee Globe. Andy talked to him at his house in Kinsale back in August.

ON THE WIND is presented by Forbes Yachts. Forbes & Jamie Horton are real-deal yacht brokers, living the dream everyone talks about having cruised the Bahamas and Caribbean in both sail and power boats, with and without kids!

0:18.0	Ahoi shipmates. Welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Andy Schell. I am recording this on location on the foredeck of Ice Bear because we're motoring through the keel canal right now, and there's some engine noise down below. So it's a nice day. We're sitting on the bow on our way to the North Sea and to England. A couple quick reminders about stuff going on this fall.

0:50.5	It's called Harbor Burn Cannon Company.
0:52.3	We're going to be there with solid bronze milled
0:54.8	cannons that use black powder to make a very rather loud bang. They're really fun and I have
