by Chris Stanmore-Major
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.

In this episode we look at an MOB incident in the 2024 Round the Island Race in which a crew of five were inundated by a following sea off St. Catherine’s Point, UK resulting in one tethered MOB, one MOB 15m (45ft) clear of the vessel and with only a short distance to a lee shore... Oh and the skipper broke his leg in the knock down as well! Both MOB’s were recovered without injury, but there is a lot to consider as I give a hot take on the actions taken by the crew, and how things turned out. I’ll be sharing insights as a professional sailor, examining what went right, what went wrong, and the crucial lessons we can carry forward.

One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is ’The Southseaman’.
