In this episode we look at Trusting Your Anchor, getting a Rival 32 to do 15 knots and Death on the Foredeck, among other topics.
Please note that if you have subscribed to the podcast in the past, I have moved to the Acast platform, so if you wouldn’t mind subscribing again, you will continue to receive an email every time a new episode is uploaded
… and an apology, I should have made this clear: The Old Man Sailing podcast is a series of episodes of between 40 and 50 minutes reading through the Old Man Sailing blog from the beginning, along with selections from the books. It does not replace the blog – rather it is intended for people who want to listen rather than read. Episode 15 takes us up to 2020.
On new posts, you get the choice of reading or listening.
A link to this Acast thingie would be handy please John.
Just go to the home page at https://oldmansailing.com and click on the podcast. If you want to be alerted to future episodes, follow it.
I just want to read the latest updates but dont see a link for that
Just go to https://oldmansailing.com. The latest post is at the top and you can scroll down to the older ones. To see the archive, there is a list of previous months below that (or on the right if you’re looking at it on a computer.)
Thanks John. Don’t realize you did this. I subscribed and am enjoying.
Now look here Passmore, old man it’s just not on…ya know. I like to read, I’ve been an avid reader since I can remember…just about anything…english LIT., novels Americana, tech, engineering, anything on sailing even poetry…esp. James Joyce and the truly wonderful Sam Beckett. So, I just can’t be listening to your mellifluous tones which cannot replace my own echoes I’ve built up over the years. Why change the email now? C’mon just send as usual.
Perhaps I’m missing the read only version, in which case please redirect me. I’m just a young fella of 72 and maybe need some redirection…occasionally.
Thanks…love the sites, etc

Sorry, not really with you.
I love reading your ramblings. But Acast seems to be a long audio jobbie, am I missing something?
What’s the problem? You should be able to listen to it just by clicking the arrow on the blog post. Alternatively, I just checked on Spotify and I can stream or download it from there.
Ah, I see what you’re getting at – you want to read it rather than listen to it. Don’t worry, the podcast is simply a series of readings from the blog and the books for the people who want to listen. I started at the beginning in 2017 and have reached 2020. And from now on, every new post will be accompanied by an audio version as “Old Man Sailing Instant”. Interestingly more than 90% of the downloads have been from the USA. Don’t they read over there?
