The Sailing Podcast Ep. 3 | Parties, Passage, and the Path to the Azores in the Triangle Race

The Sailing Podcast host (and Yachting Monthly Editor) Theo Stocker dives into the highs and lows of the recently resurrected Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race with three enthusiastic entrants: veteran participant Jane (JT), single-handed sailor Rob McGregor, and experienced co-skipper Kathy Clayton.


They all unpack the three-leg course, which starts in Falmouth and features famed stopovers in Kinsale, Ireland, and Tréguier, Northern France, before sprinting home. Discover why this event, run by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, is renowned as much for its friendly atmosphere and legendary shore-side socials—like the Guinness-fuelled club nights and the Tréguier hog roast—as it is for the sailing.


We cover the competitive action, including how the fleet blends serious racing yachts with cruising boats through handicap classes, and hear the nail-biting stories from the water: from managing the Land's End TSS and dealing with fog-bank start lines, to the challenges of single-handed micronapping and the demoralising effects of flat calm on the 300-mile leg.


Finally, the sailors give practical advice on how to get your own boat ready for major offshore events, detailing the Category 3 safety requirements (plus life raft), the necessary 125-mile qualifying voyage, and the crucial importance of a strong skipper/co-skipper partnership.
