A rare behind-the-scenes look at high-performance decision-making, team culture, and the future of global sailing.
Fresh from a historic treble in Abu Dhabi, Ben Ainslie sits down with Georgie at home to unpack one of the most dramatic seasons in Emirates GBR history, and the seismic changes coming to the America’s Cup.
And unlike the evasiveness he has shown previously when pushed for clarity, he is surprisingly open, even on the chances of winning the next America’s Cup . . . ‘I definitely put us in the dark horse category, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.’ But, considering the podcast circumstances perhaps not that surprising.
