Ep. 21 Interview: SailGP CEO Sir Russell Coutts

This week, we sit down with sailing legend Sir Russell Coutts — ISAF Youth World Champion, Olympic gold medalist, five-time America’s Cup winner, and co-founder & CEO of SailGP. Russell joins hosts John Pearce and Charlie Enright for a wide-ranging conversation on building SailGP into a global league, the future of the sport, and his candid perspective on sailing’s development pathway. Along the way, they also bond over a shared role off the water — being sailing dads. Insightful, honest, and full of behind-the-scenes stories, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix is coming up May 30-31. Head over to https://tickets.sailgp.com/new-york/ to learn more about how to watch and ticketing experiences.
