BIO
Tom Slingsby OAM has nine World Championships in no less than four very different classes, as well as an Olympic Gold Medal in the Laser. Currently, he is just one of four Australian sailors to have won both an America’s Cup, and in 2019, the four were also members of the team Australia that won the inaugural year of SailGP. Known for being able to read the wind better than just anyone else alive, Slingsby is the consummate sailor, and possesses a focus out on the water that allows him to achieve what he sets his mind to. Slingsby is still actively involved in everything from F50 catamarans to Foiling Moths, and Etchells. To a whole new generation of sailors, Slingsby is showing just how much Australians are at the forefront of global sailing. The crew for the Star Sailors League Gold Cup will draw heavily on Australia’s burgeoning crop of current and former Olympians, America’s Cup and SailGP stars, as well as inshore and offshore legends.
