My guest on the latest episode of the Yacht Racing Life Podcast is Phil Kennard – CEO of the Canadian NorthStar SailGP Team. We had a wide ranging conversation that covered Phil's early life as an Olympic campaigner as part of the 49er squad within the British Sailing Team, to his extended periods within Formula 1, professional golf's PGA Tour – as well as a spell with Ben Ainslie's first British America's Cup campaign.

We also dug into what the role of a team CEO within SailGP is like, talked through the Canadian's rollercoaster ride through Season 5, and took a look ahead to the team's goals and aspirations for Season 6.

You can also listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify – and all major podcasting platforms.
