Ep15 - Jack Ferguson - Team Australia Challenge - AC37

Dual Australian WASZP National Champion Jack Ferguson takes us through the exciting new partnership between WASZP, The INSPIRE Sailfoiling Foundation and the Team Australia Challenge for the Youth and Women's Americas Cup in Barcelona. 

Jack is one of the brightest young stars in the World of Sailing, he is currently building one of the most impressive resumes in the sport. From winning an Opti Nationals in 2017, to representing Australia at the Youth Worlds, winning multiple WASZP events, including representing Australia at the SailGP INSPIRE Finals and winning the U23 49er World Championships last year. REMEMBER THE NAME!

Jack reflects fondly on his time in the WASZP Class and still reconnects with the class as much as he can. The friendships he has created over 4 years in the class continue to be his strongest. "There is nothing like a WASZP boat park in the world, you leave your ego at the door and just enjoy yourself, it doesn't matter who you are or where you have come from, the ethos of the class is such that there is always someone to talk to and everyone is so approachable" explains Jack. 

Jack is currently vying for the starting helm position for the Youth Americas Cup Team, a key instigator in getting the partnership finalised, Jack and his teammates have been ripping up Sydney Harbour on the WASZP keeping sharp and building their skillsets ahead of AC37.
