The Roots

Annemieke started sailing at 12 and quickly showed not just talent but relentless drive. She represented the Netherlands at three Olympics, winning silver in Beijing 2008 (Yngling class) and finishing 4th in Athens 2004. After London 2012, she sought a new challenge and found it offshore. In 2017–18, she fulfilled a lifelong dream by joining Team Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag in The Ocean Race. She returned in the 2022–23 edition with Team Holcim-PRB, winning two of the seven legs in the IMOCA class.
