Is it possible to still become an Olympic sailor if I start sailing at a relatively older age (20)?
It seems all the olympic class sailors start really early or are born into sailor families. I just moved to a city where I can learn sailing, and I’m in love with sailing already, wish I had started earlier. To all the great sailors out there, is it ever possible for a late starter to bloom in competitive sailing?

cheeky monkey, Charles James Rivett-Carnac was 55 when he won gold for yachting, of course its possible lots of hard work, personally I don’t think it makes any difference whether your born into the sport or not, the only advantage is all the handed down experience.
