Ben Ainslie Racing Added a Sailing Coach and a CEO

Sailing coach Rob Wilson joined BAR in March and worked with them during their second sailing session in Bermuda, in their Flying Phantom two man foiling catamarans. Wilson is an Olympic Tornado sailor and has coached Extreme Sailing Series teams. He is focused on developing the team’s playbook for racing on Bermuda’s Great Sound, where the short, tight course will require lots of crisp manoeuvers.
