For the first Adventures Weekly of 2021 we caught up with Tom Needham and Joel Turner, who were part of the winning team on IRC at the Bartercard Australia Sail Paradise Regatta last week.

The pair are also training for the 2024 Olympics as part of the Australian Sailing Development Squad, so we cover the issues they are facing, their training and just what is ahead for this Gold Coast and Brisbane local QLD duo.

Great video and images from the Australian Sailing Team + Sailing Energy of the duo on their 49er within the show.

Stay tuned for a show each day for the next few weeks with the commencement of the Prada Cup, leading into the America's Cup in Auckland.
