Show Seven of Season Two - Tom Barry-Cotter - is now up and running

This week @BulwarksandBulldust talks with Tom Barry-Cotter from FiveBlade. In 2019, Tom (along with Throttleman Rossco Willaton) became the XCAT World Champion in a boat he designed. There are some great insights into boat design, the strategy of boat creation, greenwashing, and performance in this episode, so get set to learn...

Strap in for a great time.
