Published 3 March 2024This 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!#merlin_rocket #stubithell  #vaikobi #vaikobisail #radixnutrition #barkarate #sailingpodcast #barkarateconversations #worldsailingofficial #sailing #boat #ocean #sport #voile #sail #sea #offshore #sailors #sailingworld #extremesailing #foils #yacht #yachts #saillife #instayacht #sailingblog #instasail 
Published 25 February 2024This 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.

Plus plenty of other laughs. You will enjoy it.#sailgp #49ersailing #470olympicsailing #stubithell #americascup #olympicsailing #vaikobi #vaikobisail #radixnutrition #barkarate #sailingpodcast #barkarateconversations #worldsailingofficial #sailing #boat #ocean #sport #voile #sail #sea #offshore #sailors #sailingworld #extremesailing #foils #yacht #yachts #saillife #instayacht #sailingblog #instasail

Published 4 February 2024This week we wanted to look at how hard running an event like the ILCA 7 Worlds really is for volunteer run yacht clubs, and what the requirements World Sailing have of the clubs to ensure it is a World standard event. We have this conversation all the time with people who have put their hand up to run World Championships. For this Ep. we chatted to Peter Royle, Commodore Adelaide Sailing Club. Pete is a lifetime competitive sailor and he tells us about the work his team put in, what they had to consider and the help ASC received from all the clubs in South Australia. We thought it was an important discussion. Pete is a long-term mate, so it was a fun and open conversation.#ilca_sailing #olympicsailing #vaikobi #vaikobisail  #radixnutrition #barkarate #sailingpodcast #barkarateconversations #worldsailingofficial #sailing #boat #ocean #sport #voile #sail #sea #offshore #sailors #sailingworld #extremesailing #foils #yacht #yachts #saillife #instayacht #sailingblog #instasail

Published 10 December 2023This week we have the International Waszp Games being sailed from Sorrento in Victoria in Australia.

It's an eye opener.
