Jolly Holly, Show Me Your Dinghy
About this episode
Jolly Holly sails a 72' carbon fiber trimaran now, and has a history of restoring old boats and solo sailing. She is also the owner of ShowMeYourDinghy dinghy navigation lights, which I use and approve of.
We talk about sailing in the Caribbean, getting knocked down, sailing solo vs with crew, observing fishing regulations, Sunfish, Tritium - her 71' carbon fiber catamaran, backlash from skeptics, refitting Tritium, what it feels like to sail a giant racing trimaran, anchoring and sizing an anchor for the trimaran, weight distribution, using the coffee-grinder, getting hit by a boat while driving a dinghy at night, designing the dinghy navigation lights, why headlamps are inadequate for navigation lights, and more.
