Summary
#102 is Mike Meer, a dear friend of mine and my former employer, who taught me everything I know about yacht rigging. It's all about yacht rigging in the context of ocean sailing, in Mike's witty, fun-loving style. He's a cool guy, and he gets across complex rigging issues in a very understandable manner. The slides from Mike's talk are available at this episode's blog page on 59-north.com/sailingpodcast, so head there to follow along.
