Sailing and boating have always evolved — but today, technology is transforming the sport faster than ever.

From ocean-racing fleets connected mid-Pacific to high-performance foiling stadium racing, the tools and techniques shaping our time on the water are changing dramatically.

In this episode, we hear from three specialists who see this transformation up close:

• Max Rivers, Deputy Race Manager for the Clipper Round the World Race
• Garmin Marine Technology Specialist Alex Collard
• Tom Herbert-Evans from SailGP

Together, they explore how cutting-edge systems are making sailing safer, smarter and more accessible.

You'll hear how global race fleets stay connected in remote oceans, how SailGP uses data and digital overlays to turn sailing into a genuine spectator sport, and how everyday sailors benefit from the same innovations through intuitive wearables, navigation tools and smart safety tech.

It’s a fascinating look at how professional advancements are already filtering down to cruising boats, club racers and anyone who loves spending time on the water.
