BIO

Nicholas O’Leary has been at the forefront of Irish sailing from the very start of his sailing career. Representing Ireland in World Championships from the age of 11 in the Optimist class, two Youth Worlds in the Laser, Imoca 60 racing to Superyacht helmsman he’s covered a very broad spectrum of boat within the Sport. O’Leary is no stranger to the team dynamics required to make boats go fast and successfully around the race track. Competitiveness runs through O’Leary’s blood as his family have a history of high calibre sports achievements from Olympic pedigree to National Rugby representation on both sides. “The challenge of bringing together the best sailors in the country and moulding the skill set of dinghy, keelboat and ocean racers together to race the world's highest calibre of sailors is what excites me in this role”
