Whitecap: The Canadian Sailing Podcast

In partnership with Sail Canada, David Cripton hosts a podcast series focusing on Canadian sailing called Whitecap, with this episode featuring Fillah Karim, Canada’s top ranked ILCA 7 sailor.

Karim’s stated goal since the age of 12 is to represent Canada at the Olympics, and after narrowly missing out in Tokyo 2020, he’s back, qualifying for the 2023 Pan Am Games, and once again chasing the Olympic dream of competing for Canada in Paris 2024.

The discussion covers his full-time approach to the sport beginning outside the national team structure, how his mental approach to the sport has changed, and in the ‘highjack the guest’ section, Karim gives up some gems on ILCA downwind technique.
