Welcome to episode 179 of the Shooting The Breeze Sailing Podcast with our guest Olympic Sailor Lara Dallman-Weiss who is representing the US Sailing Team in the 470 class with sailing partner Stuart McNay.
I was honored to be considered to interview Lara on our little Sailing Podcast. I must say I had a little bit of imposter syndrome beforehand as I thought about the questions I might ask a world class athlete and sailor. I am fascinated by the level of dedication you must have to reach this level and how to physically and mentally prepare to compete in such an environment, with all the hurdles you have to manage along the way. I was also very interested in whether she considered herself an Athlete first or Sailor first and what plans she may have after her Olympic campaign is over.
A big part of the journey is finding the support along the way, so if you are so inclined you can donate to the team over at Lara’s Website, www.larasails.com where you can find updated information, buy some merch and support the team. You can also find her on Instagram. US Sailing is the umbrella organization under which the Olympic sailing teams operate and who gives support to the teams at this level.
The Olympics start in late July with Lara starting sailing on August 2nd. Not sure on the Television schedule in the US, but NBC Sports will be covering the summer olympics.

STBSP, Ep 180, Porch Chat with Mahlon and Linda Stauffer, ICW Cruisers
Just Ducky under Sail
Welcome to The Shooting The Breeze Sailing Podcast (STBSP) Ep, 180, a porch chat with Mahlon and Linda Stauffer, who have been cruising the ICW to Florida and the Bahamas, from the Chesapeake Bay, for the past 5 seasons, aboard their Island Packet 35 “Just Ducky.”
Having met them years ago on a Hot night in the mooring field at Hances Point Yacht Club, we’ve been sailing and hanging out swapping stories for a good long time, and it has been way past due that we sit down for a chat on the podcast. This will be the second Hometown Lancaster, PA cruising couples I’ve had on the Podcast, Maris and Linda aboard S/V Amekaya were the other ones on episode 71.
Nothing to sell, no blogs or YouTube channels to promote, just great stories and tips for venturing up and down the east coast in and out of the ICW. I love that they made the plans to go cruising in retirement and they are out there living the dreams year after year. Inspiring stuff for the rest of us workaday grunts.
If you see Just Ducky out and about, wave a greeting and exchange boat cards!
