Show Seven of Season Three - Ben Kelly - is now up and running

This week @BulwarksandBulldust talks with Ben Kelly, Multihull Segment Leader for North Sails Global, about Apparent Wind, going quickly, the awesome nature of the world's best multihulls, and cruising with your own race boat.

As the Yoda of Multihulls, it is little wonder Ben Kelly has recently been promoted to the role of Multihull Segment Leader for North Sails.

Yes we laugh. So look out for the gold dust, and spot the bulldust....

The Absolute Master of Apparent and reigning Australian Multihull Champion takes us on a journey that includes designing and building his own trimaran, El Toro, and then also using it for cruising with his family. Extreme 40s, ORMA 60 (Team Australia), the maxi Ultim class, and Ocean Fifty all get a look in.

Acknowledging the support of Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance, The Boat Works Gold Coast, Melfi Designs, The Yacht Sales Co., ILIAD Catamarans, and Big Duck Inflatables.
