What should people watch out for at your event The congestion zones at the top and bottom marks are where the most action is. When I am not sailing I am... Spending time with friends and family, probably still on the water somewhere. What does it mean to represent Australia at the Games Representing Australia is an honour, and to put on the green and gold uniform and race against the world’s best is what excites me the most.

What are you most excited about for the Games
Being able to go sailing and put my best foot forward. From my first Olympic in 2012 to now, I think there’s a different perspective to take, and I’m looking forward to doing it with Evie and Victor.

Favourite place to sail in the world 
Palma

Favourite place to sail in Australia 
Sydney Harbour

Favourite conditions to sail in and why
12 knots is where the FX is incredibly balanced and technical to sail, but also when it’s 20 knots and you’re getting to send it.

What's the most interesting part about the Olympic venue
Marseille is a really complex sailing environment with the geography and forecasting around it making for an exciting race course. Sailing on the med is always good fun as the water’s a deep blue and sun’s shining.

What result are you most proud of
Silver medal in London 2012 Olympics. Also 3rd place at the 2023 World Championships in The Hague, where as a team we came together to step up and put a great performance down together.
