ABOUT Evie Saunders
š¦šŗ Help Me Represent Australia at the 2028 LA Olympics
Iām chasing a dream that started on the water and now itās within reach.
My Story
Iām an Australian sailor driven by one goal: to stand on the Olympic start line wearing the green and gold.
In 2023, I won Gold at the Pacific Games.
In 2022, I was named Australiaās Youth Sailor of the Year.
And today, Iāve climbed to 54th in the world in the open rankings. But behind those results is years of early mornings, long days on the water, and relentless commitment to improving because at this level, progress is earned inch by inch.
Why Now Matters
2026 is a defining year in my Olympic campaign.
Itās the season where I need to compete consistently against the worldās best, racing across Europe in high-level regattas that directly shape my pathway to LA 2028. This isnāt just another year. Itās where I close the gap.
The Real Cost of Chasing the Olympics
While my training is supported through a scholarship, the reality is:
Competing internationally comes at a significant cost.
2026 Campaign Budget: ~$70,000
- š International regattas
- āļø Flights, freight, and logistics
- š Accommodation and living costs overseas
- āµ Equipment, maintenance, and upgrades
Every regatta is an opportunity, but also a financial hurdle.
