Sporting relatives:

His partner Charlotte Dobson has represented Great Britain in sailing, and competed in the 49er FX class at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (SportsDeskOnline, 21 Jan 2020; yachtsandyachting.co.uk, 02 Oct 2019)

His first experience of sailing was on the River Thames in England in an Optimist boat. He began racing at age 13. (rya.org.uk, 01 Jun 2016; teamgb.com, 04 May 2016)

His parents sent him on a sailing course during the summer. "I think it was just the freedom. Going out on the water, there are no parents with you. You are the boss of the boat, you go where you want." (rya.org.uk, 22 Jul 2016; harboroughmail.co.uk, 20 Jul 2013)

To win gold at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (athletemedia.co.uk, 20 Sep 2019)

British sailors Chris Draper and Simon Hiscox. (rya.org.uk, 22 Jul 2016)

Coach Chris Wright. (rya.org.uk, 22 Jul 2016)

"I always have to sail with a visor, I can't sail without my visor, and if we lose one on the water I have to get back in and get one." (rya.org.uk, 01 Jun 2016)

Philosophy:

"Pressure is a privilege. If you don't feel pressure, it's because you're not in a position where what happens matters." (athletemedia.co.uk, 20 Sep 2019)

He was named the 2006 Sports Personality of the Year at the Harborough Mail Sports Awards in England. (harboroughmail.co.uk, 20 Jul 2013)

CREWMATE
After splitting with his former crewmate Alain Sign following the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, he paired with Stuart Bithell in the 49er class. In their first season as a partnership they won gold at the 2017 Class World Championships in Porto, Portugal. "As soon as we started sailing together is was quite obvious we got on really well. One of our strengths is that we are quick, and we've really been able to build on that and develop a style of sailing that has allowed us to be consistently up there. We have chosen to operate, both as a team and as a campaign, to increase the level of professionalism that either of us had in the past."
