Episode #117: John Arndt and Ryan Foland on Yacht Clubs

This week’s co-hosts, John Arndt and Ryan Foland, get back to basics with yacht clubs.

Hear how yacht clubs keep the sailing community connected, John and Ryan’s own yacht clubs, the benefits of joining one (or two!), the stigma surrounding yacht clubs, and the uphill battle of getting more people out on the water. Bonus: Could we see a Good Jibes Yacht Club in the future? This episode covers everything from yacht clubs to setting sail.

Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

• What is the Blue Water Cruising Club?
• Why should you join a yacht club?
• What’s the name of Ryan’s Laser?
• How many yacht clubs is John a member of?
• Should we change yacht clubs to boat clubs?
• Are there any virtual yacht clubs?
• Should we start a Good Jibes Yacht Club?
• Does Latitude 38 have a yacht club?
