How did Great Britain rise to become the world’s most successful Olympic sailing nation?

In this opening episode, three pivotal voices chart the journey from improvised campaigns to a modern medal-winning machine.

Keith Musto OBE recalls the 1960s breakthrough when he defied convention, prioritising fitness and structured training to clinch an unexpected silver medal alongside Tony Morgan in 1964.

Rod Carr CBE, former coach, Performance Director and CEO of the RYA, reflects on guiding the sport through decades of change, from volunteer-led efforts to a fully professional programme.

Stephen “Sparky” Park CBE, former Olympic Manager, shares how National Lottery funding fuelled a dramatic shift: full-time athletes, elite coaching and world-class training bases that paved the way to Britain’s golden era, including the unforgettable London 2012 Games.

Their stories reveal how resilience, innovation and targeted investment transformed British sailing from amateur roots to sustained Olympic dominance, while inspiring the next generation to keep the sport at the heart of the Games.
