American professional sailor and coach Tom Burnham takes us on a fascinating deep dive into the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic syndicate’s recent challenge for the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona.

During the interview Tom shares his thoughts on:

- the relative merits of the Shared Reconnaissance programme
- explains the key elements of his role as the American syndicate’s head coach
- describes what goes on aboard the coach boat during a typical training day
- as well as giving his assessment of how AC37 played out between the six teams on the waters of the Mediterranean off Barcelona last summer.

All this plus loads more fascinating insight makes it an interview that America’s Cup fans absolutely won’t want to miss.
