Business of Boating w/ Merrill Charette

This week on the SHIPSHAPE podcast, we set sail into the world of offshore sailing with none other than the legendary British yachtswoman, Jeanne Socrates. Recognized by institutions like the "Offshore Sailing School" and "Yachting Monthly," Jeanne's achievements are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Not only does she hold the record of being the oldest woman to have circumnavigated the world single-handedly, but she's also the only woman to have achieved this feat solo non-stop from North America.

But what does it take to master the sailing skills required for such a journey? Jeanne delves deep into her experiences, sharing insights that even the most seasoned skipper would find invaluable. From her early days of grasping the ropes of offshore experience to her interactions with renowned sailors like John Kretschmer, Jeanne's tales are a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration.

Whether you're an aspiring sailor, or simply someone intrigued by the vastness of the open sea, this episode promises a deep dive into the challenges, thrills, and sheer determination that define offshore sailing. Join us as we navigate Jeanne's remarkable stories and celebrate her incredible career in sailing.
