Show Four of Season Three - Matt Allen AM - is now up and running
This week @BulwarksandBulldust talks with none other than Matt Allen AM. We get straight into it with an entrée of Olympic Classes and Scoring for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, as well as a look at 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. There's well more than a side order of business with the Chairman of World Sailing's Oceanic and Offshore Committee, so have your salad fork ready...
Main course with the three-time overall winner of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race also looks ahead to potentially getting the last prize on the list, Line Honours, in the 2025 edition that kicks off this Boxing Day (December 26, 2025). The Big Red Girl, the Aircraft Carrier and whole lot more get applied to the Guillame Verdier/ Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost (VPLP Design) 'monomaran', but one thing you can say about Comanche is that she is probably the most recognised boat in the world. There's also a definite nod to Legends past and present, with the likes of the late and great Lou Abrahams, Col Anderson, and Bernie Case receiving due praise.
For dessert, let's talk Gentleman's Express, which of course means Palm Beach Motor Yachts, now part of the GB Marine Group
Standby for a load of gold dust, and we reveal the bulldust!
