Legends

Ben Ainslie

Ben's career in sailing began at the age of eight with his family in Restronguet, Cornwall.

What started as a hobby quickly turned into a way of life, and by the age of 16 Ben was already Laser Radial World Champion.

Ben is now Britain’s most successful Olympic sailor ever, with three gold medals and one silver.
