Bar Karate - The Sailing Podcast

Published 30 March 2025

We had one two hour window over two weeks to put an episode together. We spoke to Luigi Maffioli from Gottifredi Maffioli. Luigi is a long time friend. His companies ropes were used in the Cup, in the Ocean Race, throughout the Olympics, Superyachts and at Foiling Week. They make some very cool stuff and understanding ropes is critical to being a good sailor. As always it was a fun discussion. Enjoy!

We chat to Sam Goodchild fresh from his win in the singlehanded Figaro 3 class at the La Drehm Cup.
With the Solitaire only weeks away we check the form guide, and chat to Sam about his awesome career.
We get in depth on his experience in the Artemis Offshore Academy, racing around the world, the Jules Verne, surviving a man overboard, sailing Class 40's, Figaros, MOD70s and sailing 40kn+ in the Ultim's.
Sam has done it all and if you want to know about the Pro life and getting a campaign together, this Ep is for you.
