This week we check back in on the 18s' straight after presentation night, post the JJ's. We spoke to Emma Rankin, skipper of the Club Marine. Emma is a lot of fun to talk to and she goes hard in her sailing. She has achieved plenty in her sailing career already and this conversation is a ripper. We also catch up with Harvey Hillary from the Bar Karate team. It is an 18 fest and it is a lot of fun. Enjoy.

Our 350th episode, so we talk to the great man, Nokka. Olympian, Americas Cup sailor, round the World racer! One of the most respected men in our sport, but also one of the sports great characters. I did try to stop the chat getting too loose and failed. It is very funny and a lot of fun, but maybe not one for the youngsters.
