SEASCAPES PODCAST JANUARY
A sailor racing 26,000 nautical miles alone for a year around the world in a 19-foot plywood self-built yacht; the man who runs a family boatyard in Kerry which has built the first vessel for the Irish Navy in Ireland in 40 years and the sailmaker who has built his own maritime cannon, because he was told it could not be done, are the trio of stories in the new 15-minute monthly Podcast starting this month.
