An interview with world class super yacht designer Ron Holland. We talk to Ron about how he got into sailing, how he got into designing boats, and discuss some of the design challenges in designing and building the biggest superyachts on the planet.

It's been a bit of a break, so welcome back. We plan to have more monthly shows for you throughout the summer. This month we talk to Yachting Pages about the world's first Superyacht search engine, and we talk to Sarah Black from The Green Blue about the environmental issues surrounding antifoul with a lot of poor gags about cleaning bottoms which where funny at the time but maybe you just had to be there... enjoy.

Of course it is... at least after this interview with UKSA's Simon Davies, we are convinced. ( It's fun playing devils advocate with paddle boarders)

This interview is the first of our bonus interviews for those of you who have taken the plunge and subscribed to the watersports podcast. We hope you enjoy.
