Bite-sized, topic specific 'how to' videos for rookie skippers & sailors.
My name's Mark Burkes. I'm a professional sailor & have sailed more than 250,000 nautical miles over 35 years. I work as an RYA Yachtmaster™ Instructor & Yachtmaster™ Ocean.
I've been privileged to skipper race boats in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race twice, on Team Garmin & WTC Logistics, having first circumnavigated in the race as a First Mate in 2011/12. I've also skippered Team Garmin on the Rolex Sydney Hobart & raced the Fastnet several times. I've raced in the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties 9 times. I've crossed all the oceans at least twice and the Atlantic many times. It's been great fun (mostly)!
I now offer BESPOKE OWN-BOAT TUITION & COACHING FOR CRUISING COUPLES looking to improve their skills & confidence.
