Olympic Medalist Jason Waterhouse seems to be everywhere these days. Last week, he was on the podium at the Nacra 17 World Championship. Now he’s in Sydney racing the flying F50 catamaran with the Australian SailGP team; they’re looking to defend their championship title this season and win another million dollars. He’s a real rockstar in the sailing world. But just a few years ago, he was a junior sailor. Maybe just like you. Harken Blockheads are a curious bunch, and they had some questions for him.
