We jump back in with our mate Sam Goodchild. Some big things are happening in his World. He has been racing with Holcim PRB in the Ocean Race. Crucially we recorded this before Holcim dropped their rig and Sam was not onboard for this leg. Why? Because he has to qualify his new IMOCA 60 - For the Planet, for the Vendee and there are some races he needs to complete. He is a busy man and its all happening for him. Go you good thing.

We chat to Jake Keilman and Todd Wilson the founders of Vakaros. The pathways to success in sailing are many and varied. Todd and Jake of started their own business, making the cool Vakaros product. We thought people would enjoy this in two ways, 1. the story of creating your own sailing business and 2. for those with a Vakaros, knowing how to use it better. Turned out Jake and Todd are massive fans of the show and the banter flowed. We loved it, enjoy!

We have 200 episodes in the can. We decided to push our superstar guest a week and look back at what we have done. We explain the pathway to Bar Karate, the name, give some behind the scenes info, talk about our favourite episodes. There is an enormous amount here. Its definitely not one of those stupid best of shows. Enjoy! Oh, I had to tick the explicit button because we had a 4 minute sound bite from the Netti episode. If you have kids listening and don't like swearing, thats all you have to worry about.

We chat to Dutch pro sailor Arienne van de Loosdrecht who was a member of the the Wind Whisperer team which won leg 1 of the Volvo 65 class into Cape Verde. We recorded as the boats were creeping into the finish at Cape Town. It is a particularly interesting episode if you are a young sailor trying to make it as a pro.

We chat to Scott Shawyer the principal behind Canada Ocean Racing. One thing we love is showing pathways, so we wanted to get in early and start chatting to a new team wanting to challenge in the IMOCA World. Scott is a lifelong sailor, skier, and adventurer (he's trekked to the North Pole), and a successful businessman and he brings an Engineers mind to the process. We are going to follow his journey and we thought you might enjoy coming with us.
Plus Cup and Ocean Race news.
