Erica Dawson

EVENT:  Sailing: Mixed Multihull (Nacra 17)

Dawson and Micah Wilkinson have been consistently near the front of the mixed Nacra 17 fleet since their Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020. Dawson showed considerable promise in her junior and youth sailing days and is the only female to have won the Starling national championships. She earlier campaigned in the 49erFX and had a brief stint in the ILCA 6 (Laser Radial) before teaming up with Wilkinson in 2019.

Originally a skipper of double-handed boats, Dawson swapped roles with Wilkinson and the pair finished eighth at the 2023 world championships and fifth at the 2023 European championships following a consistent 2023.
