Sailing Anarchy Podcast # 13 - Mark Turner Volvo Ocean Race CEO

Easily one of the most influential people in all of sailing over the past decade and a half, Mark Turner has done it all. A naval officer turned Mini racer, Turner jumped into the management side of yacht racing with Ellen Macarthur, and he's never looked back. The creator of modern "Stadium Sailing" and innovator of sailing events in dozens of countries, Mark moves into the top spot in the world's most widely followed ocean race at a tumultuous time, and he shared a full 1h40 with Mr. Clean at the Vendee Globe this past Friday. The boys got into some of the most important issues touching sailing, and Turner's characteristic bluntness is refreshing as hell. Want to know the deadline for the decision on the next Volvo Ocean Race boat, and the possible boat choices? It's here. Or maybe you're looking for info on the $1M refit of the existing VO65s or the new AIS rules and incentives to pull a flier? Click "PLAY". Want to know exactly what's wrong with ISAF and why Turner leaked an internal document a few weeks back? Listen. What about emerging nations, the loss of Abu Dhabi as a sponsor, and how the recent Omani and Chinese offshore tragedies have effected those new sailing countries? Give us an hour and forty. And like all conversations with Mark, if you want to understand more about the commercial end of event and sponsor management, this guy knows it ALL. Enjoy.
