About this listen
In this powerful in-person conversation, professional sailor Luke Lawrence returns to Sailfaster to share his extraordinary journey — from burnout to balance, and from racing hard to racing smart. Speaking from Pete’s dining room in Washington, D.C., Luke opens up about the mindset, mechanics, and mental resilience required at the top levels of the sport.
We talk about:
How Luke learned to become a “fact-based robot” and shut out distractions
His recent pro sailing season across Stars, Etchells, J/70s, and superyachts
Tactical and technical tips for starts, laylines, mark roundings, and game planning
His candid battle with addiction — and how sobriety transformed his sailing
The lessons he brings to coaching and how to reset a team after mistakes
This is a deep, wide-ranging conversation about performance, preparation, personal growth, and the joy of mastering the fundamentals.
