Biography

Bryn Vaile of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club partnered Michael McIntyre in the Star class at the 1988 Olympics. The pair were in 2nd place after for races but slightly disappointing results in races 5 and 6 left them needing to win the seventh and final race with the America leaders placing below 6th place if Vaile and McIntyre were to win the gold medals. Unfortunately for the Americans, they broke a mast and were unable to complete the race and the British pair duly won the gold medals.
