Helm
With over 10 years of competitive sailing experience, Gustav brings tactical brilliance and quick decision making to the back of the boat. Steering the 49er requires a mix of aggressive maneuvering and delicate patience.
Crew
The engine of the boat. Simon handles the massive sail area of the 49er out on the trapeze wire. Athleticism, power, and precision trimming are his trademarks in keeping the boat fast through the water.
Title Partner
Copenhagen Concierges helps make our 49er campaign possible by supporting the travel, logistics and movement required to compete at the highest level around the world racing circuit. Their backing helps us focus on performance, preparation and racing.
Visit their websiteThe 49er is the pinnacle of high-performance Olympic sailing. Designed by Julian Bethwaite, it is a two-handed racing skiff featuring a twin trapeze system, a highly unstable lightweight hull, and a massive sail area.
Sailing this boat at the highest level requires physical fitness, tactical brilliance, and fine-margin precision obtained through years of experience. Racing a 49er is often compared to driving a Formula 1 car on water — it demands respect, controlled aggression, and extreme precision.

Boat Speed
"The 49er is an unstable, high-speed skiff that punishes the smallest mistakes. Flawless teamwork and split-second timing are required to execute these fundamental maneuvers."
Fighting for the perfect spot on the line. Milliseconds and inches separate the fleet before the gun even goes off. Acceleration, positioning and timing is everything.
Moving through the boat at max speed. Both sailors must coordinate their weight transfer perfectly to maintain boatspeed while turning through the wind.
An explosive manoeuvre at 20 knots. Flipping the massive spinnaker while steering downwind requires power, balance and finesse.
Turning away from the wind and hoisting the kite. The boat rapidly accelerates through the power-zone, drastically shifting the apparent wind and balancing point.
