Joe and team mate Nick Rogers returned from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with a superb silver in the 470 sailing class, which added to their silver at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. The pair enjoyed a reputation as one of the sailing world’s strongest pairings and also achieved medals at World and European level. In preparation for Beijing 2008, Joe spent four years studying light wind sailing technique and had a controlled diet to gain the ideal body weight.

He now works with the Youth Sport Trust as a Changing LIVES athlete mentor on initiatives such as Sky Sports Living for Sport.
