Sixteen years ago, Paul Foerster and Kevin Burnham of the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team captured the gold medal in the Men's 470 at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens over the 27-boat fleet. Foerster, a four-time Olympian, and Burnham, a three-time Olympian, had both medaled in the Olympics before. In three prior trips to the Olympic Games ('88, '92 and '00), Foerster had won two silver medals in the Flying Dutchman ('92), and the 470 ('00). Burnham earned a silver in the Men's 470 class in 1992. Foerster and Burnham joined forces in pursuit of a gold medal in 2004 and the pair succeeded triumphantly. With the win, Burnham became the oldest gold medal winner of all Team USA athletes at the 2004 Games. Foerster and Burnham were named Rolex Yachtsman of the Year for their gold medal performance. Gary Jobson catches up with these Olympic champions to reflect on their historic win and learn more about how they are engaging with the sport of sailing today.

Before sailing to BVIs and San Juan on my friend's boat, we put my dinghy on the deck and outboard stored away. Two of us did that but when I got back, it was just me to put it back in the water. The time lapse misses some of the bug wind gusts that made the dinghy hard to manage. Getting the dinghy in the water wasn't so bad but the outboard was tough. It's pretty heavy and we stored it in an awkward spot for one person to get it out. But everything worked out in the end.

If you use one too big, it slows down the boat too much, you lose steerage and water comes over the stern.

Veli Rat is a protected landscape area on the island of Dugi Otok, best known for its impressive lighthouse. Built in 1849, the lighthouse rises about 42 meters high and is considered the tallest on the Adriatic coast. Its distinctive yellow exterior is surrounded by a local legend claiming that thousands of egg yolks were used in the construction of the facade mixture. Within the lighthouse grounds you’ll also find a small chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas, which has become an increasingly popular spot for intimate and romantic weddings.
