Life Stories – Iain Armstrong

Last year we were booked for a charter by a chap called Ian Rutter who was immediately interested in the story of how Amanda and I had arrived at the decision to set up Force 4 Sailing. It transpired that Ian was a radio presenter for Talk Radio Europe and he was keen to interview me for his program “Life Stories with Ian Rutter”. Flattered as I was by the suggestion, I was also daunted by the thought of how awful I would sound on the radio and worst of all, I had to come up with 6 pieces of music that “spoke to me” over the years!

I successfully dodged said interview for almost a year but was eventually pinned down in June 2018.

What follows is the resulting interview, it’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, although I may have left some juicy bits out, so help me God!!!
