Bar Karate - the Sailing Podcast, Ep370, SailLAB
Published 9 August 2026 This is a brilliant episode, one you will want to share with every teacher and parent you know. If you are neither of those, you will enjoy it the way I did, just imagining how much fun school could have been. We were joined by Malcolm Page CEO Australian Sailing and Jess Lundh, former Australian Sailing Team member who is also an Environmental Scientist and certified teacher. We talk SailLAB, a free STEM education program that uses sailing to teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Australian schools. It is very interesting and relatable episode even if you are designing Americas Cup boats for your job.

Published 10 May 2026 This week we bring in the super sub and chat to them so you can know what to expect. Bicey has plenty on, so the addition of a super sub we feel will make the show stronger.
