The Grey NATO – 382 – SailGP Halifax With Rolex
This week, we complete our twin set of Rolex trip report episodes as James offers a download from his trip to SailGP in Halifax. Rolex is the title sponsor for SailGP, and James got a chance to tour a boat on the water, chase boats in the harbor during the racing, and even meet some Testimonee sailors – including Hannah Mills and Tom Slingsby. It's an exciting, very approachable sport that is growing quickly and is a blast to watch, even from the shoreline.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you upping your camping setup and discovering some excellent work on Substack. Thanks so much for listening.
