The America's Cup is the world's oldest sporting trophy dating back to 1851.

In its illustrious 170-year history, there has been plenty of drama on and off the water.

Newstalk ZB presents The Superior Sailor Series, as our very own D'Arcy Waldegrave finds out why the America's Cup is so addictive.

We hear from some of the movers and shakers from the sailing world to find out just what makes them tick; who their heroes are and what makes them keep coming back for more.

Join D’Arcy Waldegrave every Wednesday on Sportstalk from 7pm for the behind-the-scenes stories from the greatest names in sailing, and subscribe to the full podcast on iHeartRadio.
