CloseLot Description
Ben Ainslie is Britain's most successful Olympic sailor ever, with three gold and one silver medal. As part of the Great Britain sailing team at London 2012, he'll be competing in the Finn class where he'll be looking to win his fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Ben made his debut aged 19 and won silver at the 1996 Olympic Games and gold in the 2000 Summer Olympics in the one-person Laser dinghy class. He moved to the heavyweight dingy Finn class for the 2004 Summer Athens Olympics, where he won gold, a feat he repeated in the 2008 competition.
Ben was awarded an MBE in the 2001 New Year Honours list and then OBE (2005) and CBE (2009) following his successes at the Athens and Beijing Games.

Support for the Neptune Coastline Campaign helps us to permanently preserve and enable public access to miles of our most special coastline.
