Ep 412 Mark Bulka - Five Time World Sailing Champion - Lessons from the Top

Five World Championships, fifteen Australian Championships, fifty plus State Championships and countless international and local podiums on all manner of yachts. I can say without exaggeration that my special guest, Mark Bulka, from the Mornington Peninsula in Australia, knows a thing or two about winning yacht races.Mark is well known in sailing circles, but not so much is known about him. In this podcast, we get behind the person, talk about his background, his passion for sailing and his formula for winning on the international stage multiple times.This podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at the Sandringham Yacht Club at an event put on by the Australian RS Aero Class Association. The audience contained several world, national and state champions, and you will hear Mark reference them as a hat tip to those who inspire and push him to be better.Mark was also keen in this session to explain his concepts and ideas to those new to yacht racing, whether they be in youth sailing (Mark's kids are racing now) or adults keen to learn more in a new sport. As it is a live podcast, we did have some audience interaction with Mark and Martin Kudnig talking about overseas regatta's. Martin is the former Commodore of Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and a passionate sailor in the RS Aero and J70 Class.I hope you enjoy this podcast with Mark, who has so much to offer and will be winning races for many years to come.Apart from a busy sailing calendar Mark works as a Yacht Broker, and you can find him at 38 Degree Yacht Sales on LinkedIn and on Instagram @markbulka
