An impressive performance with Canadian Youth sailing led him to compete in the Finn Class in four consecutive Olympic Games with Team Canada. This opened the door to a wildly successful professional sailing career. Richard was part of a winning Volvo Round the World crew, has broken the 24-hour sailing distance record four times, holds both the Transatlantic and the Transpac records – his accolades are jaw dropping, and these are only a handful. Richard is a great storyteller, so I’m sure you are going to love this episode, full to the brim with stories – insightful and entertaining. -- This season of ON THE WIND is sponsored by&amp;nbsp;Weather Routing Inc., aka 'WRI', 59º North's longtime weather routing &amp;amp; forecasting friends.
