What does it take to manage a race on the world’s biggest stage? In this episode, we sit down with four-time Olympic Race Officer Paul Ulibarri to go behind the scenes of elite-level regatta management. From his humble (and accidental) beginnings as a Hobie Cat dealer to overseeing the most prestigious starting lines in the world, Paul shares the tactical precision and cool-headedness required for international race officiating. He has overseen racing at all levels from the Pacific Northwest around the world. We dive into the "Art of the Regatta" and hear some harrowing dips (Sea Stories) from some truly epic races.

In this episode, we sit down with a powerhouse of the Pacific Northwest sailing scene. Joy Dahlgren joins us to talk about the movement sweeping our waters. She is a racer, a business owner, and a community builder.

Joy is now with North Sails in Victoria after her time with UK Sailmakers. She also leads the charge for women in high-performance racing.

We dive deep into the Cascadia sailing movement and what it means for our region and look ahead to the road to the New York Yacht Club.
