Phil Robertson is a Kiwi sailor in demand as a multiple world world champion, SailGP skipper and former world No 1 match racer, but it wasn't always an easy pathway to the top. He talks about his journey in the sport as well as the time he was rescued by the Auckland police boat, his run-in with Sir Ben Ainsley and what it was like to get his hands on the flying SailGP catamaran for the first time. He also tells his story of his worst wipeout ever, and it's not a pretty one.
