World Match Racing Tour - Young-gun Kiwi skipper Phil Robertson is confident his Waka Racing team can have an instant impact in their debut year as Tour Card Holders on the World Match Racing Tour and beat some of the more established opponents to claim a top three finish.

'Making top six is a realistic goal but recently we’ve upped it to top three because in the previous two years we’ve achieved higher than what we’ve set ourselves so we thought we better keep upping it.'

In the first of the weekly series of interviews with the nine WMRT Tour Card Holders we go behind the scenes with Phil Robertson. Visit the WMRT website to read his thoughts on this year’s competitors, the challenges his team face, what he’s looking forward to and much more. World Match Racing Tour website
