Sailing Anarchy Podcast #75. Designer Thomas Tison

About this episode

Scot Tempesta interviews designer Thomas Tison about his work in sailing and yacht design.

If you don't know who designer Thomas Tison is, you will now. Tempesta spends the better part of an hour visiting with Tison, from his AC involvement, to his very fast 48' Elita, built of wood, to his latest, the stunning small foiler called the Airborn. Thomas is a smart and interesting dude, and we are sure you'll enjoy the podcast.
