Sailing Stories with Malcolm Page
Martin White has secured an evening with Malcolm Page as part of our Sailing Stories series. Come along and listen to Malcolm talk about his sailing journey, with a Q&A session at the end.
The event will be held at the DBSC clubhouse.
There is no cost, and the club will be shouting pizza and drinks.
Due to the expected popularity, this event is for members and their families only.
Please complete the form below to RSVP to this event.
Malcolm Page OAM has won multiple world titles but his name was written in the history books when he became the first Australian sailor to successfully defend a gold medal at an Olympic Games – and did so alongside two different skippers.
It was a remarkable feat for the likeable Page from Sydney who as a child suffered seasickness and admits he was not an immediate convert to sailing. But Page conquered the malady to be one of the greatest 470 dinghy sailors of all time. He went on to captain the Australian Sailing team between 2005 and 2012. Page competed in the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 and won his first Olympic gold with Nathan Wilmot at the 2008 Beijing Games and his second with Mat Belcher at the 2012 London Olympics, sailing out of Weymouth.
No other Olympic sailor from Australia before or since has achieved this astonishing feat.
Page’s long list of achievements includes winning four world 470 class titles with Nathan Wilmot and three with Mat Belcher. Malcolm Page has not just kept his sailing achievements to the 470 class. Among others, he has also excelled in the Farr 40 and Sydney 38 classes, claiming a pre-world championship in the Farr 40 class. He is an inductee into the Australian Sports Hall of Fame and in 2011 was inducted into the Australian Institute of Sport’s Best of the Best.
Malcolm was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to sport in 2009.
