Offshore Sailing legend and Rocna inventor Peter Smith.

Oh my God, what an amazing interview! Thank you!!!

"Nobody else ever worked on this boat but me" - that alone is hats off. Someone builds something from top to bottom and sails the seven seas with it is Tier1 in every possible definition of the term. Hats off.

he has seen it all and is still going ❤✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

what a great interview, so well done and smooth flowing too, the man , the boat, the anchor. Never heard a life fall into place so perfectly .

This is my second watch of this episode and it is equally as fascinating...

Didn’t want that one to finish. Amazing

Magnificent. What a interesting, informative interview. So much applied knowledge, that boat is a masterpiece. Beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing.

As salty as they come - worked 94 hours per week for 4.5 years to build that wonderful boat.

When you look around you and there are never other sailors around where you are sailing. You either made a huge mistake, or are born sailor in heart and blood. Great interview, i love stories about adventures and achievements, cheers to you both!

Classic..... had the pleasure of bumping into this gent on a couple of occasions when he was stopped at Westhaven..... sitting on a 20kg stainless Rocna, probably 5 kg oversize for the boat.... best anchor out there......cheers from Waiheke....

Great bloke. Very intuitive to how things work.

This interview could have been 3 hours and I would have lapped up every minute. What a wealth of knowledge and experience this man has. Hopefully he will write his memoirs.

What an incredible story. Quite a man. Thanks for sharing the story

What an awesome guy and awesome boat!

I know Peter Smith since 2018 when he and many other sailors were forced to abandon crossing Northwest Passage. He was one of the last to do it. As Peter wanted after all to make it I suggested to him try to sail from Alaska. He made it through Caribbean, Panama to Alaska in 2020. It was a fateful year for many sailors as Pandemic exploded. Nevertheless he used provision of original Transport Canada ban that was “ambiguous”, saying the ban allowed for foreign vessels to exercise the right of “innocent passage”. And he proceeded. I was not aware at that point of his plans when of sudden received Email from him at about mid point of Northwest Passage. He complained of being tailed by Canadian Coast Guard who didn't stop him but warned him of restriction. So I quickly guided him through last leg. Consequences of this crossing ended up in Court of Canada and cost him a lots of money. Interesting he made Northwest Passage single handed non-stop. Victor

What a great interview. Learnt more in the last 30 minutes than all the other sailing vids combined. The thought that went into that boat is just unbelievable. My Ovni 370 delivers next year and I will set about on my circumnavigation. Disagree a bit on the solar. It has come a long way in the last few years and along with LiFePO4 can substantially reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. But what a legend. Sir, you really inspire me!

Wow what an amazing man. Could learn so much from just listening to Peter's stories.

What a legend, well done with this, it’s really inspiring to listen to the pioneers of cruising for us dreamers. Love the post shearing … hair cut, less windage!

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. What a remarkable man, a modern day legend!

Great interview, thanks very much. He’s a humble guy, very little documented on what he’s done yet he’s approachable and generous with his time
