Andrew Chisholm and Henry Simms are a Canadian high-performance sailing team campaigning in the Olympic 49er skiff with the goal of qualifying for the 2028 Summer Olympics and building a long-term program toward the 2032 Summer Olympics. Their partnership combines world-class junior results, technical expertise, and a structured high-performance training environment focused on developing the speed, consistency, and decision-making required to compete at the highest level of international sailing.
Andrew, a mechanical engineering student at Queen's University, is one of Canada’s top young foiling sailors and a Schulich Leader Scholarship recipient. He brings strong technical and analytical skills to the campaign, applying engineering principles to equipment development, data analysis, and performance optimization. Henry, from Halifax, is a lifelong sailor and member of the Sailing Canada Youth Squad, with national podium finishes across multiple classes and a background as a multi-sport athlete, including competing in alpine skiing at the Canada Winter Games.
Together they are building a professional Olympic program built around international training blocks, world-class coaching, and consistent racing in the world’s strongest fleets. With support from their home clubs, provincial and national sailing programs, and sports science resources, Andrew and Henry are focused on turning talent and preparation into a credible Canadian campaign on the Olympic stage.
