## Resource

This week's host, John Arndt, is joined by professional sailor, sailmaker, and the new Grand Poobah of the Baja Ha-Ha Chuck Skewes to chat the past, present, and future of the event & sport. Chuck has been sailmaking for over 40 years and has won pretty much any sailing race you can think of. Hear how he learned to sail & teach sailing at a young age, how to become a sailmaker, the reasons you'll want to make the Baja Ha-Ha your annual tradition, how to pack & prep for the Baja Ha-Ha, and what Chuck has planned to modernize the Baja Ha-Ha.
