Cam Farah:  Foiling is the future...!

Cam Farah: Foiling is the future...!

Today we’re talking to Cam Farrah, a world champion foiler who experienced what’s it like to be thrown into the Strategist role on the US SailGP team. Cam has some remarkable stories of what it’s like to be at the sharp end of a 70 mph catamaran in full view of the cameras!

Surviving a SailGP series is only one of Cam’s skills, she’s one of the US’s best young sailors and has fully embraced the foiling revolution. She’s been a world champion on Foiling A class Catamarans for the last two years, and a leading sailor on the 69F, the one design foiling monohull that looks like a mini America’s Cup design and similarly sails at astonishing speeds. She’s a recent graduate of Tulane university in New Orleans, and already has a sailing CV that runs to multiple pages. It was truly a privilege to chat to Cam, as you’ll hear, she tells some great stories from the new world of foiling, and has of course, some great insights into sailing faster.
