Paul Cayard's El Toro

Two-time Olympian, America’s Cup veteran and 2011 National Sailing Hall of Famer Paul Cayard began his sailing career in a small El Toro dinghy that his father Pierre Cayard built for him when he was only 8 years old. This is the story of that boat that started it all for Paul, and how Paul and Pierre sought to find the boat more than 40 years later.
Just over 7 minutes.
