Meet Atlantic Brugman of our 470 Women's fleet!
Atlantic Brugman learned how to sail in Barcelona, Spain at the age of five. As a young sailor, she sailed Optimists followed by 420s with her sister, Nora. The pair found success competing in youth events all around the world. After graduating from high school, Atlantic took a year off from school to get her Ocean Yacht Master license from the United Kingdom Sailing Academy before attending Connecticut College. There, she helped her team secure a second place at the 2011 Women’s National Championship and became a two-time All-American. After graduating, she took a brief break from sailing to pursue other professional aspirations. Atlantic returned to the sport in 2016 as an assistant coach at Stanford University. During her time at Stanford, Atlantic continued to develop her sailing knowledge and realized that she wanted to start competing again herself. Since then, with the support of the Shelter Island community, she has once again joined forces with her sister, Nora, and the sibling duo have dedicated themselves to a full-time Olympic campaign in the 470. In her spare time Atlantic loves to surf, woodwork, bike, renovate houses, go camping, and ski.
Atlantic's lucky charm:
“We got a lucky charm in Japan right before the World Championship for good fortune in your atheltic life, and we carry it in the pocket of our spinnaker bag.”

Meet Ian MacDiarmid of the 49er class!
Ian started his racing career in Optis at the age of seven. During his time in the Opti, he was fortunate enough to represent the United States at 5 different IODA events. He made the move to the 29er in 2013, where he developed a love for crewing and fast boat sailing. At the same time, US Sailing's ODP was just starting and Ian joined as a part of its first international travel team. 2016 was Ian’s first taste of Olympic-level competition, with a 49er medal race appearance in his first World Cup. After a brief stint in the 470, the 49er has become his home. Currently, Ian and his skipper, Andrew Mollerus are the top American 49er team, according World Sailing's rankings. The pair were the top Americans at the 2020 World Championship and were honored to represent the United States at both the 2019 Pan Am Games and Tokyo Olympic Test Event.
Ian's Must-Have Travel Items? A few jars of almond butter, Vertra sunscreen, and a water bottle.

Farrah is a lifelong athlete with a background in swimming, running, and triathlon, and now competes in the RS: X Olympic class. She came from a non-sailing family and claims the outskirts of Annapolis as home where she taught herself to windsurf at age 16. During her time at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, Farrah started a windsurfing club, where she sourced equipment donations, taught all who wanted to learn, and fostered lasting friendships. Still an active club 20 years later today, Farrah considers it her best accomplishment in the sport.
Since her modest beginnings, Farrah has taken her passion for windsurfing to both American and international windsurfing communities including 4 quadrennial cycles of olympic runs. She takes pride in coaching other Olympic aspirants and all kinds of motivated windsurfers. Farrah’s goal is to be a great all-around windsurfer and coach which includes coaching and training in various disciplines of windsurfing such as freestyle, freeride, and windfoil.
