Welcome back to a brand-new season of Pursuing Polaris! We’re kicking off 2026 with an inside look at the NorthStar SailGP Team’s newest addition.
In this season premiere, host and team grinder Tom Ramshaw sits down with Ali Ten Hove, the team’s new Reserve Strategist. Ali brings an incredible resume to the squad, having represented Canada at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and campaigned for the Paris Games in the 49er FX.
They dive deep into the high-octane world of professional foiling, from the “video game” intensity of training for the Women’s America’s Cup on simulators to the physical reality of the F50. Ali opens up about her transition from helming her own boat to supporting the team in various roles—whether she’s facilitating technical briefings or stepping in as the “best water girl around” to ensure the crew is race-ready.
