Biography

Motivational Speaker - Ben Ainslie CBE

Ben's sailing began at an early age when he was given a small Optimist sailing dinghy as a gift from his parents. Ben successfully progressed through this very popular youth class and at the age of sixteen moved into the laser, which is the class used for the men's single handed division of the Olympics.

Ben went on to qualify for Great Britain and eventually take silver medal in the 1996 Olympics after a very close battle for Gold. After the Olympics, Ben moved to the top of the Laser fleet winning both the World and European titles in 1998 and 1999. Ben won the Gold Medal in the Laser Class in the Sydney Olympics.

He then went on to win the Gold Medal in Athens in the Finn Class in 2004. Having competed in The America's Cup in 2007 for Emirates Team New Zealand, Ben had 12 months to prepare himself for 2008 Beijing Olympics where he won a third Gold Medal by competing in the Finn Class.

Since Beijing Ben has received many awards and accolades most recently he was honoured Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the Queen’s New Year Honours List. Ben also became the only sailor ever to be crowned ISAF World Sailor of the Year three times (1999, 2002 & 2008) and British Yachtsman of the Year five times (1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008).

Ben recently attempted The Argo Group Gold Cup in Bermuda, the Danish Open and the 2010 Audi Med Cup Cagliari.

Ben is now fully focused on qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics, which would be his fifth consecutive games.

His extensive knowledge and experience make him an ideal motivational or after dinner speaker.
