FOILING
Tate Howell
Waszp • Moth • 69F • M32
I love sailing! As a youth sailor, I had the opportunity to travel to many countries and compete in the Optimist, i420, and 29er class championships, including the ISAF Youth Worlds in 2018. After transitioning from youth classes, I skippered the 49erFX skiff. In 2023, I embraced foiling with the Waszp and 69F, and worked on the Canadian SailGP shore team. As of 2024, I am also a member of the shore team for “Closing Time”, an entry into the 2024 M32 circuit in Miami and Newport.
In 2024, I will be competing at the World University Championship Sailing in Desenzano, Italy on beautiful Lake Garda. Our team has been selected from the top university students from across Canada to represent our country in Italy this June. We will be among 16 teams of students from around the world competing in the Dolphin 81 boat, a popular class in Italy. The format for the competition is fleet racing with a qualifying round, semi-finals, and finals. We have a strong team and are confident we will place at the top.
My sailing journey isn’t just about the present; it’s a commitment to long-term goals. I aspire to represent my country and stand on the Olympic podium in 2028. The Olympics are not just a personal dream but a testament to the hard work and dedication that I pour into every sail, every race, and each moment on the water.
I am a member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, and a WeCANFoil athlete.
