Charlotte Dobson & Saskia Tidey Olympic Sailing

We are Olympians Charlotte Dobson & Saskia Tidey. Team mates onboard our 49er FX Olympic class skiff  dinghy representing Great Britain on the British Sailing team.  We need your help! 



After the Rio 2016 Olympic games concluded we left with fire in our bellies and our eyes and hearts set on the goal to medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.  

For three years we have battled on the International World Sailing circuit to bring home medal winning performances for Great Britain. It has been a honour to fly the flag and and a privilege to be under the pressure of striving for greatness.

Unfortunately we have reached a hurdle in our campaign which we are finding increasingly difficult to jump. The level of financial backing we have needed to maintain podium positions has now exceeded beyond what our campaign budget is capable of.  With additional funds we absolutely believe we can complete and deliver the training programme we have planned to bring home a medal. 


This summer we will represent Great Britain at the 2019 Olympic Test event in Japan. Please follow our journey and donate before August 2019 to help us reach the gold standard program we need to continue to succeed!

With Tokyo 2020 just around the corner we are seeking help and support from anyone would would like to join our journey and help us keep on the podium for Great Britain in 2020!  



Sailing is a sport that can be overlooked and misunderstood but it is a exhilarating sport which is accessible to everyone and we would love to entice more viewers to enjoy it too! 

Please help us on on our journey!
