From Shore Crew to SailGP Pro – Cooper Dressler's Wild Ride to the Top

🎙️ Pursuing Polaris – From Shore Crew to SailGP Pro – Cooper Dressler's Wild Ride to the Top - Ep. 08
 From sailing skiffs in California to grinding in the America’s Cup and now racing with the NorthStar SailGP Team for Canada, Cooper Dressler has one of the most unconventional and inspiring journeys in pro sailing. In this episode, Cooper sits down with teammate Tom Ramshaw to share how he went from tearing down bases for Oracle to being called up to sail with legends — all thanks to hustle, humility, and a whole lot of hard work. They talk everything from near-misses in the Youth America’s Cup, to epic wipeouts in New Zealand, to balancing elite sailing with fatherhood. Plus, Cooper gives his take on how wing foiling is shaping the future of sailing — and why more young sailors should jump on a board. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to break into the world of professional sailing, this one’s for you.
