🎙️Back on Bar Karate — The Sailing Podcast

🔈Find the link to listen on my blog post at pgnoceanracing.com/blog

Check out my recent interview with the team at Bar Karate in Australia where we discuss my new Mini 6.50 Resolve and what goes into a Mini Transat campaign.

This was a return to Bar Karate for me since I first joined the podcast in 2023, just before racing across the Atlantic in the Mini Transat aboard 837 Terminal Leave (designed by co-host Bret Perry!). Three years later, a lot has changed. We have built an entirely new platform designed to compete at the front of the Prototype fleet.

During the conversation we get into the evolution from racing a series boat to a prototype boat, why I decided to build a fully foiling Mini, and some of the challenges that come with trying to fly offshore.

I appreciate Bar Karate’s interest in the larger mission behind this campaign — racing to expand support for US PATRIOT Sailing . It is all about creating more opportunities to support veterans through sailing.

A big thank you to the Bar Karate team for having me back on and for a fun conversation about the boat, the campaign, and where offshore foiling is heading.

What began with helping the team on a few boat maintenance projects in the winter of 2019 eventually led me to find a renewed sense of purpose and community during a challenging period in my personal life. US Patriot Sailing was there for me after I returned from deployment and as I transitioned off active duty. The team helped me even when I was not prepared to ask for help, and over time it guided me back to my passion for offshore racing.

Today, as an ambassador for U.S. Patriot Sailing, my mission is to use this racing campaign to expand support for the organization and create more opportunities for veterans to experience the benefits of sailing.

On Sunday at 2 PM at the Newport Boat Show, I’ll be sharing the story behind building "Resolve" and preparing to race solo across the Atlantic in the 2027 Mini Transat.

We’ll go behind the scenes of the newest foiling Mini 6.50, from its carbon construction in France to the foils, electronics, sails, first flight, and the lessons I’m carrying forward from the 2023 Mini Transat.

Sunday, September 20 | 2:00 PM
📍 Room B – Below Deck, Hammetts Hotel
🎤 Building Resolve: Racing Solo Across the Atlantic

Hope to see you there!

Happy birthday to the best travel partner, powerboat driving, crepe eating, w**e drinking next to the Eiffel Tower, Kangoo driving, ultra running pit crew, and sailor in my life! Another year around the sun for you and thankful to be a part of it. The move to France was a lot this year but glad we did it together. Love you ❤️Jane Millman
