Fatty and Caroline Goodlander are famous for sailing twice around the world in their Hughes 38 ‘Wildcard’. Fatty wrote extensively for Cruising World, published a series of books, and even hosted a NPR radio series that broadcasted from remote locations. He is widely known as a ‘yarn spinner’. Many of his stories include eccentric characters that he ‘met along the way’ and his pragmatic approach to solving puzzling issues that are common to sailors. While the sailing world is constantly evolving, Fatty’s take on life and priorities taps into timeless principles.
