Bar Karate - The Sailing Podcast

This week we chat to Will McKenzie. A bloke who has done plenty of sailing including with both BP and Bice. But he spends most of his time these days as shore crew for the Bonds Flying Roos as part of SailGP. Will takes us inside life behind the scenes. He provides plenty of detail about the boats and the setup. If you are a fan of SailGP or looking to find your own path to the pros' this Ep is for you.

Our 350th episode, so we talk to the great man, Nokka. Olympian, Americas Cup sailor, round the World racer! One of the most respected men in our sport, but also one of the sports great characters. I did try to stop the chat getting too loose and failed. It is very funny and a lot of fun, but maybe not one for the youngsters.

This week we try and make keel boat racing easier, cheaper, more fun and more appealing for all. After our ORC discussion (Episode 335) I had a phone call from an old mate, Brett Whitbread. He had some frustrations about IRC and handicapping systems in Australia, but rather than just whinge, he had some ideas to improve it. We run through these ideas this week and present them to the World. It could be a game changer. We are really interested to hear your thoughts. Enjoy!

This week we are all about the F18 Worlds starting in Perth WA. We discuss the venue, the competition and the class. We had four guests, Mark Parker, Gavin Colby, Bevin Grimes and Jeanette Kinsey.

Last week we saw the big announcement from American Magic of their new training facility and their partnership with SailGP. American Magic state that they hope to help grow sailing through their efforts in Pensacola, so of course we reached out to our old mate Tyson Lamond, COO of American Magic to find out all about what is happening and there is plenty to discuss. Enjoy.
