The world's greatest racing sailor - three-times Olympic champion Ben Ainslie tells his story
Ben Ainslie, CBE, was born in 1977 in Macclesfield. He started sailing at age four and first competed at the age of ten. He has won four Olympic gold medals and was awarded Yachtsman of the Year in 1995, 1999, 2000 and 2002.
Take it from a neutral observer: the most accomplished competitor
at work in British sport today is Ben Ainslie. Chris Hoy, Lewis
Hamilton and Rebecca Adlington deserve praise but the real fanfare
should be reserved for Ainslie ... [He has] a combination of
dedication, stamina, tactical nous and, the clincher here, a
sustained level of ruthlessness rarely witnessed before in British
sport
*Daily Telegraph*
Sailing's superman
*The Times*
An interesting self-portrait ... it encapsulates his personality:
pleasant and unassuming off the water, ruthless on it
*Independent*
A must-read for any sailing fan... Ben’s inside account makes for
fascinating reading
*All at Sea magazine*
