The Mariner

Light hearted & filled with personal anecdotes and amusing tangents, the Mariner Podcast shares the wealth of knowledge & experience accumulated by a sailor who has covered more miles on the world‘s oceans, than the distance from the Earth to the Moon. Each episode, solo circumnavigator Chris Stanmore-Major, talks about all things sailing from how to flake a line and prepare a meal on a family cruising voyage to how to race through the Southern Ocean on an Open 60.

Best Sailing Podcast!

I feel lucky to have Chris working and podcasting in this space. He is a natural educator and his commitment to safety at sea is unparalleled. His other podcast Rare Nautical Reads is also incredible. I learn a ton from him and hope to be able to support him on Patreon soon and someday sail with him. thank you!

Must listen!

Thought I’d already found all the sailing podcasts worth listening to, but I was wrong. One episode in and it’s some of the most valuable educational content I’ve come across to date. Thanks!

Best sailing podcast for new sailor

I am refitting a 1973 Tartan 34Classic. I have been listening to every podcast about sailing out there. This is the best, profession, extremely detailed, and educational. I’m so grateful. I am particularly enjoying the section oh safety at sea.

Thank u mate

Hey, Greg Tufan here - Kobago express - loving the new episodes and the short time btwn episodes. Anyway. “D” for “damage” was certainly helpful. I believe I was the source of “B” boat, which is a source of pride 🤗. I guess if u asked a 6 yr old to name something about sailing beginning with b, “boat” would be up there on the list. Well, I am smarter than a 5 yr old then... keep it going Chris. You have actual fans.

“C”

This podcast was exceptional and just chockablock with incredibly useful information. Chris’s high-energy delivery made it a blast to listen to on what would have otherwise been a long, mind numbing car ride. Rushing out to buy a pair of kitchen sheers and actively thinking of better ways to deploy water, sugar, and O2 in support of my own cruising crew! Thank you!
