What really matters when choosing a boat to cross oceans? Andy Schell and August Sandberg break down the essential features that define a true bluewater sailboat, from hull design and construction to materials, keels, and the small details that make a big difference offshore. We also share some of our favorite offshore designs, and some of our least favorite! See the video on Youtube! This podcast is brought to you by The Quarterdeck, our online sailing community!
