She Crossed the Atlantic Alone—Three Times | Kiana Weltzien

Kiana Weltzien - Solo Sailor/Filmmaker The Boat Geeks #39 - Kiana has singlehanded her Wharram catamaran across the Atlantic Ocean three times, and once with two other women for the making of a documentary film. Recorded on location in the Fisheries Supply "Live at the Wooden Boat Festival Stage" during the 2025 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival (PTWBF), your host Darren takes a deep dive into the world of boating. This episode: Kiana discusses the joy in sailing across the ocean alone, the love for her Wharram catamaran, the documentary film "Women & the Wind", and the lofty goals of the Women & the Wind Foundation. If that all sounds impressive, she is! Her film was the featured event at the 48th Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. Brought to you by the Boater's Guide, a free mobile app for PNW boaters.
