Saving Einstein, to Loften and back and inspiring Tracey Edwards | The Sailing Podcast Ep.7

In this 7th ever episode of The Sailing Podcast, host Theo Stocker steps on board Mansura, the Hallberg-Rassy of veteran sailor, author, and pilotage expert Miranda Delmar Morgan.


Miranda shares the incredible history behind her boat's name, tracing it back to a 1912 hybrid propulsion vessel owned by her family—a boat she believes may have been the "private yacht" that secretly spiritied Albert Einstein away from the Nazis to the shores of Dover in 1933.


The conversation then shifts to Miranda's epic four-month summer voyage, covering over 4,000 miles from the South Coast of England to the stunning Lofoten Islands in the Norwegian Arctic. Miranda discusses the logistical challenges of managing 16 different crew members, the technical demands of navigating the "rock-strewn" inner leads of the Norwegian coast, and the surreal experience of sailing under the midnight sun in 20°C heat.
