    Published 17 March 2024

    This is a big Ep and a very interesting discussion. We talk to Annika & Ian 'Thommo' Thomson from Ocean Crusaders and the TP52 J Bird. Annika and Thommo run a charity, Ocean Crusaders. Ocean Crusaders clean the ocean of rubbish and plastic. They also own J Bird III, a TP52 they bought for $30,000 and restored/rebuilt into a modern racer cruiser that is powered entirely by renewable energy. They have plenty going on and they live at the forefront of making the World a better place. There is something for everyone in this discussion. Enjoy!

    Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast Ep249, the Merlin Rocket

    Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast Ep249, the Merlin Rocket

    Published 3 March 2024

    This week we sit down with Stu Bithell, Andy 'Taxi' Davis, and Simon Blake to discuss the Melin Rocket, a unique UK boat. The class was created by the merger of the Merlin and Rocket classes in the 1940's. The Merlin Rocket is designed to a box rule and as a result the boats have evolved and are thoroughly modern designs with plenty of strings to pull. They have a lot of great regattas and traditions that make them successful. We have watched them from afar for a lifetime, so were very keen to learn more about this class. Again it was a great chat. Enjoy!

    Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep248 Stu Bithell Olympic Gold and Silver medallist.

    Published 25 February 2024

    This week we chatted to Stu Bithell. Silver 2012 Olympics 470, Gold 2020(1) Olympics 49er, wing trimmer German SailGP team. Had a ball. Great guy, great chat. Stu was all class, even when we completely stuffed his SailGP skippers name up and started rabbiting on about the Swiss skipper, Stu subtly corrected us but we were too engrossed in what we were saying to catch on. Plus plenty of other laughs. You will enjoy it.

Better late than never

Just discovered and starting from the beginning. Love the banter and the Aussie accent. And sometimes I learn something, 28% of the time.
