The Athlete

Racing towards
Olympic gold

I'm Hamish Collingridge — a 19-year-old ILCA 7 sailor from Southampton, currently the No. 1 ranked Under-21 sailor in the United Kingdom. I'm a Sports Scholar at the University of Southampton and a member of Waldringfield Sailing Club.

My goal is to represent Great Britain at the 2032 and 2036 Olympic Games and compete for gold on the world's biggest stage.

The ILCA 7 (Laser) is the men's Olympic sailing class. The pathway from national podiums to Olympic selection runs directly through this fleet — every result I achieve brings me closer to the Games.
