    Congrats on your 200 episodes!

    Although I may never actually engage at “Bar Karate” at my local Yacht Clubs, you deliver a host of interesting information on the global, regional and local scene.

    Love the laughs and relaxed interviews with distinguished guests.

    Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep380, Katie Spithill
Q: Katie, what annoys you about Stacey?
Spithill says their long friendship has been full of adventures and jokes about trying to get away from each other, but she has accepted that Stacey is sticking around.
Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep380, Katie Spithill
Q: So the goal of that is just to try and market it as an entity, to, for your professional sailing. So basically create projects. It's chasing projects, isn't it? That's it, that's opportunities.
Spithill says Women Racing creates opportunities for women sailors by connecting them with boat roles and sailing projects, and by recommending squad members when teams need crew.
Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep379, Annie Stevenson and Peter Winter
Q: How do the roles work on a boat when you're double-handed?
Stevenson generally handles preparation, navigation and weather, while Winter often takes the tactical role and calls the shots. They share responsibilities, adapt to conditions and rely on trust to ask each other for help when needed.
Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep379, Annie Stevenson and Peter Winter
Q: What brought you both into double-handed sailing and the world championship campaign?
Stevenson had seen another team compete the year before, and when an opportunity to campaign together arose, she applied despite thinking they were unlikely to be selected. Winter learned of his selection only shortly before the announcement.
Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep363, Karyn Gojnich
Q: What are the plans for the International Women's Championship in New York, and who is involved?
The Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron is assembling a team of female sailors for the event, with a focus on broad participation, building experience, and integrating new sailors into high-performance crews.
