About Sam

Growing up in Sorrento, VIC, Sam Phillips competed in his first sailing competition at just eight-years-old.

Training at his local club, the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, Sam teamed up with his brother Will competing in the 49er boat class.  


Sam was selected for his Olympic debut in Tokyo, competing in the 49er class alongside his brother Will Phillips.  

After a strong start to their campaign in Tokyo, with four consecutive top-8 places, including a win in race three, Sam and Will placed 12th overall at the end of the regatta.
