Happy to launch the worldmarine.media news pilot show! I've still got a bit of learning to do on 'studio' sound, especially room dampening, so it isn't perfect, but a huge thank you to Tom Morris of Mozzy Sails for giving me some pointers which will make the next show much better on that front.

Many thanks to contributors Mozzy Sails, Weir Wood Sailing Club, Crewsaver and UpWind by MerConcept, sponsored by 11th Hour Racing.

Learning as I go along with this and very happy to listen to all constructive feedback!
