Catching up with Taylor Canfield as he prepared to set out for the start of the Bacardi Cup Regatta in Miami in his Melges 24, was an absolute treat. Fresh off a stunning, classy, faultless win at the SailGP Sydney spectacle, I was keen to dive into that final race, one that I labelled as ‘perfection’ and still stand by.

Taylor was honest, open, engaging and as ambassadors for the sport go, I thought he was terrific. Unbeatable in one-design and match-racing, Taylor has it all but the criticism of his performances in SailGP both hurts and motivates - those two key ingredients to success. Enjoy this in-depth interview with a sailor who wears his heart on his sleeve, and is very much on the up…
