Richard Clarke, raised on Toronto Island and sailing since age four, competed in four consecutive Olympic Games in the Finn class for Team Canada before building a career that included a Volvo Ocean Race win, four broken 24-hour distance records, and both the Transatlantic and Transpac records.6:00 The conversation, hosted by Nikki Henderson on the On The Wind podcast, covers Clarke's full arc from Olympic dinghy sailor to offshore professional.5:24 He describes his first day aboard a Volvo 70 in Fremantle, Australia — knowing nobody, understanding nothing about a multi-sail big boat — and how he survived by volunteering for every unskilled job, including managing the food program.27:50 A key story involves a knockdown during a delivery passage from Australia to Spain aboard a Volvo 70: helmsman Stu Bannatine ended up neck-deep in water hanging onto the wheel, tethered to the boat, and deadpanned "Richard, I'm not very comfortable right now."0:17 Clarke reflects on offshore versus inshore sailing, his preference for high-performance carbon monohull racers, and his leadership philosophy — that admitting what you don't know and drawing on crew knowledge makes a skipper more effective, not less.7:49 Andy Schell provides a brief update from Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, noting crew openings on the Shetland race and the opening of the 2027 59-north.com calendar.1:09
