Show Four of Season Two - Jack Macartney - is now up and running

This week @BulwarksandBulldust speaks with Jack Macartney. From the legendary 18-footers, to supermaxis, TP52s, Volvo 70, J/70, and even Superfoiler, Jack does not hold back, as we look at the Hobart. Transpac, Fastnet. Caribbean 600, Transat, the Volvo Ocean Race, and a load more.

This episode has plenty of gold dust, clearing away a bit of bulldust, with great tales and laughs aplenty. There's also time to look at what's on the near horizon, too!

Admiring the work carried out the Sydney Bulldog Clinic. Many thanks to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia for the additional footage of Celestial (70) crossing the line to take the overall win in the 2024 Hobart...

With thanks to our Season Two sponsor, Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance. Also acknowledging the support of The Boat Works Gold Coast, EspressoTwenty5, and Melfi Designs.
