Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on March 21, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Iain Percy! You're sailing through another year with the same ease you showed when clinching Olympic gold medals in 2000 and again in 2008. Clearly, age is just a number—though your medal count seems to be keeping pace!

From conquering World Championships (twice!) to making waves at every regatta you've entered, you're proof that life truly begins offshore. May this birthday bring winds as favorable as those championship races of '02 and '10—and may your celebrations stay afloat longer than any boat you've ever sailed.

Cheers to smooth seas ahead—or at least smoother than usual!
