Cosa tratta questo video

Swedish sailor Gurra Krantz returns to Andy Schell's "On The Wind" podcast to discuss his post-Whitbread career, focusing on his role as skipper of the Swedish reality TV series "Över Atlanten," now in its eighth season.8:34 The show takes celebrities on a transatlantic crossing — typically Canary Islands to St. Martin in January–February, or to Rio de Janeiro in autumn — aboard a Swan 651 modified to 70 feet, which Krantz owns.2:04 He describes the show's evolution from a disastrous early season using a rented, unprepared Swan 601 that arrived five days late to the Canaries with nothing on the checklist completed, to running his own boat with 13 people aboard pushing watermakers, engines, and asymmetric kites to their limits.34:17 Krantz explains that drama is never staged — it emerges naturally from the accumulated stress of a heavily loaded boat and mixed-experience crew.39:59 He also discusses marina ownership in Stockholm, the business dynamics of doing the show for free versus on contract, and the prospect of a ninth season.9:21 Andy Schell announces a new 59 North charter: the Swan 70 "Adrienne" sailing St. Martin to the Canary Islands in February 2025, already fully booked, with skipper Eric Nordbordy and first mate Tim Danielson.2:57
