Summary
#67. Andy gives a seminar on Tuesday at the Caribbean 1500 on mentally preparing to go offshore. This is similar to the one that was up previously, but is specific to the Caribbean 1500 and more generally the route from the Chesapeake to the Caribbean, regardless of whether or not you're with a rally. This was recorded at Roger Brown's on High St. in Portsmouth during the pre-departure program in front of a live audience. Follow the 1500 on carib1500.com.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Anna Viner's live from Sweden. Welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast with your host, Andy Schell. Enjoy the show. |
| 0:09.0 | Greetings, greetings. Welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast. I'm your host, Andy Schell. Coming at you live from Ocean Marine Yacht Center in Port Smith, Virginia. It is Thursday. A couple days before the start at the Caribbean 1500, and that's what |
| 0:22.7 | this episode is about today. I think this is episode 67, but I usually screw up these numbers, |
| 0:27.1 | so I'm not sure you'll see any way in the iTunes thing. This one is sponsored again by Caligo |
| 0:32.4 | Marine. Caligo makes synthetic rigging systems for cruising boats. It's high-tech stuff, |
| 0:38.8 | not super high-priced, really cool stuff. We have it rigged on Arc Tourists, took off all the wires on the shrouds. |
| 0:43.8 | The only wires remaining are the head stays where we have Hank on headsils. |
| 0:47.3 | But really cool stuff, two to five times stronger than wire when you use the standing rigging. |
| 0:52.3 | For boats that have wire standing rigging, they make all sorts of cool blocks and low friction stuff |
| 0:57.8 | for use with dynamo lines. |
| 1:00.6 | They make deck fittings. |
| 1:01.9 | They make lots of neat hardware stuff. |
| 1:04.2 | They win all sorts of tech awards through Sale magazine |
| 1:07.0 | and at the Tech Award shows in Europe at the Mets. |
| 1:12.2 | So it's really cool stuff. |
| 1:16.4 | Check it out, caligomarine.com. John Frant has been a good friend of mine for a while and a big supporter of the podcast. They also make emergency shroud kits. So they're basically the |
| 1:22.3 | sailors that I talk to think that all boats, regardless of what rigging you have, ought to have |
| 1:26.7 | one of these emergency |
| 1:27.5 | shroud kits if you're going offshore. You can replace the longest shroud on the boat if it would |
| 1:31.7 | break. So anyway, check out coligomarine.com, and thanks to them for sponsoring this episode of the |
| 1:36.7 | podcast. This is an essay Friday. It's a seminar I did on Tuesday at the Caribbean 1500 here. |
| 1:43.6 | This is a little bit familiar. I did this before and recorded it. It's actually seminar I did on Tuesday at the Caribbean 1500 here. This is a little bit familiar. I did this |
