59 North

59 North is a website dedicated to sailing and features a pair of nonfiction storytelling podcasts about various aspects of sailing.

'On the Wind' is the evolution of Andy Schell's '59 North' podcast. The show is, quite simply, long-form conversations with sailors from around the world. 'On the Wind' (formerly called '59 Degrees North') is informal chats with people from around the world of sailing - tall ship captains, Cape Horners, sailing authors, Volvo Ocean Race skippers, yacht designers, family cruisers, Arctic adventurers and more. Plus the occasional rant on ocean safety or narrative stories about crossing big oceans in small sailboats. Our aim is to define what creates success in the sailing world and figure out how to accomplish dreams on the high seas.

'Sailing Stories' is the latest podcast from Andy Schell & 59 North, Ltd. Tales from the high seas, told week by week. The podcast will feature several different 'seasons' each based on a book that we love, professionally narrated and released weekly in a 'serialized' format. At the end of each season, the complete audiobook will be made available for purchase. We'll also feature mini-seasons in between our full-length seasons to keep the content coming!
