Meet 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist, Anna Tunnicliffe Dean Brenner, Anna Tunnicliffe and other members of the US Olympic Sailing Team to give talk at Marion Music Hall on February 20th
On February 20th, the Beverly Yacht Club is proud to sponsor another exciting presentation for area sailors. Dean Brenner, Olympic Program Chair, and Anna Tunnicliffe, 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist along with other members of the US SAILING Team AlphaGraphics will share their Olympic sailing experiences. This event is part of a National Tour to bring information about the Olympic Program and its athletes directly to passionate sailors around the country.
Dean Brenner, a former Olympic hopeful himself, will discuss the state of the United States Olympic Sailing Program and will lead the discussion among the Olympic Sailors focusing on what it takes to campaign for a spot representing the United States at the 2012 London Games. In 2008, Anna Tunnicliffe won a Gold Medal in the Laser Radial class in Qingdao, China. Only a few weeks ago, Anna was awarded the 2009 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Award, the world’s most prestigious recognition in the sport of sailing. Just last week, Anna won the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award for the second consecutive year, which is the highest sailing award in the United States.
Anna recently announced she will pursue Women's Match Racing as her primary event as she sets her sights on 2012. Her crew will be: Debbie Capozzi, a 2008 Olympian, and Molly Vandemoer. We are excited that all three sailors will be there to answer questions at the February 20th event.
