Boat Radio – Ocean Research Project – Rap's downfall, the Canary Islands and the Pearson 323

Matt Rutherford waxes lyrical about the Canary Islands and offers his opinion on the Pearson 323, encapsulated keels and the Universal Atomic 4 engine – known as ‘the bomb’. Plus, hear how he rode out Hurricane Katrina, refusing to leave his new boat, and learn how to avoid nautical insurance scammers. Oh, and he has a new theme song. Well, an old theme song, revived. And, in case you wonder, after listening to this episode, the Canary Islands are 540 nautical miles from Morocco.
