At the Start of Olympic-Class Racing Season, It’s All Eyes Toward the 2028 Games for U.S. Sailors

The only US sailors to medal at the 2024 Olympic Regatta in Marseille demonstrate their dedication to the goal.

Powerful, driven and experienced beyond her age, the ILCA 6 Olympic hopeful just missed the Paris cut, but LA is looming.

Ian Barrows and Hans Henken emerged from a grueling Olympic selection trials, the final hurdle to this summer’s big regatta.

With the Olympic regatta approaching, we look back on the trials and challenges for the US Sailing Team’s Mixed 470 pair.

When the Olympic 470 class was shifted to coed for the next Olympics there was a shuffling of the 470 sailor deck. New to the mix is the US’s Trevor Bornarth and Louisa Nordstrom, now battling for a berth.

Olympic 49erFX sailors face some of the toughest racing conditions, and these do indeed make them stronger.

Paul Cayard is now in charge, and he’s got a bold plan to get the US team back on top for 2028.

World Sailing announces its Sailors of the Year with Olympic champions Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre named female Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2021, multi-discipline champion Tom Slingsby named male Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2021, Sail Africa wins World Sailing 11th Hour Racing Sustainability Award.

On Tuesday in Enoshima, four medal races and the end of 470 qualifying action combined to create a memorable tenth day of sailing at Tokyo 2020, which saw the US Sailing Team compete in the Nacra 17 medal race and in both 470 fleets.

49erFX team Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea turn in a solid first Olympic appearance in Enoshima with the skiff and Nacra classes now racing as well.

With the Tokyo Olympic Games now underway, our U.S. Sailing Team athletes are the best we have and they’re giving it their best. Here’s why we need to root for them no matter the outcome or the final medal count.
