Learning to Sail: The Long Way Around
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Learning to sail is one of those things that’s harder to explain than it should be. You can read about it, watch videos, listen to podcasts—but at some point, you just have to go.
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Peter—80 years young and sailing for over six decades—to talk about how people actually learn to sail. We dig into his early days, the mistakes, the small breakthroughs, and the kind of quiet wisdom that only comes from time on the water.
This isn’t a step-by-step lesson. It’s a conversation about the process—what helps, what doesn’t, and how to make it your own.
Alongside the episode, I’ve put together the NanoCruising Learning to Sail booklet—a simple, practical companion you can use as you’re getting started, or helping someone else take their first steps.
If you’ve ever thought about learning to sail—or wondered if you’re doing it “right”—this one’s for you.
