Join us for an entertaining and heartfelt interview with Rodney Style, the charismatic skipper, and George, his ever-cheerful crew member, aboard Psalter, their stunning wooden BayRaider 20. Rodney shares his love for the mystery of sailing, while George jokes about being the obedient (but not always perfect!) crew member. Together, they navigate the seas and life with humour and camaraderie, embodying the spirit of true seamanship. As they banter and poke fun at each other, it’s clear that this duo is more than just a winning team—they’re a joy to watch. Rodney’s passion for the art of sailing and George’s laughter about their adventures (and occasional mishaps) highlight the unique bond they share. Hear their take on the Swallow Yachts Raid, which Rodney describes as a gathering of kindred spirits. This delightful interview is a must-watch for anyone who loves sailing, camaraderie, and a good laugh.

#DoubleTrapeze #iFLY15 #Foiling double in the trapeze with the i'FLY15 for the first time with coach. Nice review : Philip Walker, recreational / family sailor from Switzerland, Lake Murten: « As a mid-40 year-old with 3 young children, a busy life, moderate fitness, some past but no recent sailing and windsurfing experience, but absolutely no catamaran experience; I watched the same iFly15 youtube videos you have, I eyed the price tag and then for a long while I just sat there on the fence with excuses. When was I really going to find the time to sail the thing, was this not just an expensive mid-life crisis toy, was I even going to be able to sail it, how was I going to get it out of the harbour without crashing, could I right it if I capsized, what if I could not control it? The indecision was my comfort zone, not taking the plunge into the unknown was in my safe place. And then I finally took the plunge, I deserved something for me, and those youtube videos just looked like too much damn fun! Still feeling like this could be an expensive mistake, Michael came to assemble the boat, and to be honest gave me a crash course in all things catamaran. We went out on the water together, the two of us out on the trapeze, and for several glorious runs we foiled, I was immediately hooked! Several weeks later came the tough part, just me, 11-15 knots of wind, white caps, and my iFly15. The excuses and fears came back. Last time it was easy, but that was all Michael, he isn’t here now, this time it was just me. Apprehension, fear, the unknown. I followed the steps in setting the boat up, got the boat out without incident and despite my fears multiple foiling runs, out on the trapeze, speed, whining sound of foils in the water, the full monty! I capsized once and that was not because of being overpowered it was because I lost my footing, and righting the boat went smoothly and without incident. The secret of the iFly15 is it is a highly technical machine made to be easy to sail and incredibly accessible. It is compact with not too much sail area and it is very easy to take the power out of the sail and to comfortably sit in an upward position and catch your breath. Safe and in control, on my first day alone out on the water I finally understood what a great boat this is, and I absolutely love it! »
