In this special episode, we talk with Serge Testa, the Australian sailor who set a world record by circumnavigating the globe in an 11-foot boat β the Acrohc Australis. Serge shares how he designed and built his tiny aluminum yacht, what life was like during his 500-day voyage, and the lessons learned from years at sea.
We also hear from his wife, Robin, who offers her candid perspective on the man behind the record β a true doer who fixes problems as they come and keeps moving forward.
Serge also tells us what came after the Acrohc Australis β including building bigger boats, new adventures, and why small-boat sailing still holds a special place in his heart.
A timeless conversation with a sailor whose story continues to inspire adventurers around the world. π
