Sailing Nerds #1: Cruising vs Racing: Which is the Only Real Sailing?

Welcome to the first episode of Sailing Nerds — a new sub-series from The Sailing Podcast — where we discuss all things boaty. For this inaugural episode, Yachting Monthly Editor (and Sailing Podcast host), Theo Stocker met up with Yachting Monthly, Yachting World, Practical Boat Owner and Motor Boat and Yachting Digital Editor, Toby Heppell at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. Despite years of working together on the business side, we’ve rarely dug into our shared passion: getting afloat. Prepare for some misty-eyed reminiscing as we compare our East Coast dinghy-saiing childhoods before we tackle the eternal question: Is Cruising the only real form of sailing, or is Toby’s beloved Racing the superior pursuit? We also take a deep dive into the used boat market with a fun challenge: What’s the best boat you can buy for under £5,000?
