In this episode, we feature part two of our interview with Jamie Furlong and Liz Cleere from the followtheboat YouTube sailing channel about the extensive refit of their Oyster 435 sailboat in Thailand.
Intro Chat
We had a great time hanging out in Nashville and listening to great music on Broadway every night. We even had time to check out Percy Priest Lake and some of the local sailboats at the Nashville Shores Marina. We also enjoyed a great lunch at Papa Turney's BBQ right above the marina offices, that is some tasty BBQ. We have been watching the Olympic Sailing races, but it is disappointing that NBC did not have broadcasting on many of the early races. It is much more interesting with Gary Jobson and two time medalist, Randy Smyth providing commentary. New resources page on TheSailingRode.com It includes all the other sailing podcasts and websites we follow along with other resources we have found helpful.Interview
In part 2 of our interview with Liz and Jamie talk about the refit of s/v Esper, a 1989 Oyster 435. They are currently cruising in Phuket, Thailand. They also talk about a rough passage in the Indian Ocean.
Liz and Jamie refinished essentially every surface of the boat and spars. The refit took just over a year to complete.
