“We put a massive focus on youth because that’s where you foster talent. In terms of sailing ability, nothing beats time spent on the water, so starting with the kids is key. Our athletes for the 2032 Olympics will currently be in their teens, so that’s why we’re investing heavily in getting more kids onboard, both literally and figuratively.”
