In this episode of Pursuing Polaris, NorthStar Grinder Tom Ramshaw sits down with Jareese Finch, also grinder for the NorthStar SailGP Team — and one of the hardest-working sailors in the league.

From his early days racing battered dinghies on the beaches of Antigua, to competing on maxi yachts, J-Class boats, and now flying at nearly 100 km/h on the F50, Jareese’s journey is a story of pure determination. He shares how he fought his way into professional sailing, the lessons learned from rejection and hard work, and the mindset it takes to perform when every second — and every turn of the pedestal — matters.

Jareese also opens up about the grind behind the glamour of SailGP: the trust, precision, and teamwork it takes to make these boats fly.
