What really happens behind the scenes of SailGP?
In this episode of Pursuing Polaris, we sit down with Fletcher Kennedy, Shore Team Manager for the NorthStar SailGP Team, to uncover the untold stories from life on the shore crew.
From 15-hour days and high-pressure deadlines, to surviving one of the most dramatic accidents in SailGP history, Fletcher gives us an inside look at what it takes to keep an F50 on the water. He shares how the shore team juggles impossible schedules, what it feels like watching the racing from the rib, and why one crash in Sydney almost cost him his job.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep SailGP running at the highest level—or what happens when things go wrong—you won’t want to miss this episode.
