These are the stories that you think are the biggest stories of the year, the ones that make the biggest splash. But what actually ARE the biggest stories?

Sailjuice.com's Andy Rice joined up with someone who knows better than most, Mark Jardine, the publisher of Sail-World.com and YachtsandYachting.com.

The Top 5 will appear in the next podcast coming soon...
