Out The Gate Sailing

Jon Buser // Taming an America's Cup Monster - Ep.04

Jonathan Buser first learned to sail small boats at the Richmond Yacht Club junior program. Today, he still sails on SF Bay, but aboard USA 76, an 84-foot racing machine that nearly won the 2003 America's cup.

David McGuire // Sharks and Sailing - Ep.03

Marine biologist David McGuire is the founder of Shark Stewards, a non-profit focused on shark conservation. He tells the tale of looking a great white in the eye and how sailing in the Pacific led to his work saving sharks.

Randall Reeves // Figure 8 Solo Circumnavigation - Ep.02

Randall left San Francisco Bay last autumn in an attempt to become the first person to circumnavigate both the American and Antarctic continents in one season. He's rounded Cape Horn and is now headed back for a second pass, before heading north. He'd been alone at sea for 123 days and was skirting under Tasmania when we spoke via satellite phone.

Heather Richard // Navigating Hurricane Force Winds - Ep.01

In this very first OTG episode, I talk to Heather Richard, a charter captain out of Sausalito who has been sailing on SF Bay nearly every day for more 20 years. She talks about being a strong woman sailor, nearly being swept away from her boat by bay currents, and navigating hurricane force winds in the Caribbean.
