So when not out on the water, we are working madly on the hull of the boat we plan to use at the Olympics.
We have rented some space in a boat factory in Qingdao and have three boats here at the moment. The boat we’re likely to use at the Olympics is receiving quite a bit of TLC courtesy of two boat-builders we have brought over from Sydney - Mark and Chris. They have been a great help so far, as have the team at the factory.
It’s all systems go here!

After a lifetime of sailing in various classes, this is my first time competing at the Olympic Games, in the Star Class. Apparently I am the oldest male member of the Australian Sailing team...

About Me
- Iain Murray
- I am a compulsive sailor! I started sailing in my early teens, in the Flying Ant class. In my late teens, I moved into 18ft Skiffs and won the World Championships six years running. This is something I am still immensely proud of. In 1983 I was part of Australia's successful America’s Cup challenge, and was also helmsman for the Cup’s defence in 1987. I was also helmsman in further challenges in 1991 and 1995. These were all amazing learning experiences. Competing in the Olympics is what drives me now - it's the box I've not yet ticked off. When I'm not training and sailing the things I enjoy most in life are the simple ones - spending time with my wife and three daughters.
