Live your best sailing life.
Hey there!
Welcome to my sailing podcast Your Pocket Sailing Instructor! My name is Penny and I am excited to have you join me!
I started this sailing podcast in January 2022 as I realized I wanted to make my knowledge accessible to my students at all times. Well, only a few short months into this project, and I am reaching people all over the world! As an educator, this is VERY exciting! I love coaching sailing and sharing my passion with others, so if you’re looking for valuable content to take your sailing to the next level, you have come to the right place!
I release weekly episodes every Thursday so be sure to subscribe, like, share, listen and love my sailing podcast so you don’t miss a thing! I am also creating freebies, so be sure to keep an eye out for those too!
Happy sailing my friend and glad to have you aboard!
