Team Evie: Navigating our Future
Elite Sailor | Engineering Student | Planet Advocate
Evie Saunders, a member of the Australian Sailing Team, is focused on Olympic success in Los Angeles 2028. At 19 years old, she has already won 2 gold medals at the 2023 Pacific Games, a silver at the 2024 U21 ILCA 6 World Championships, Australian Youth Sailor of the Year 2022 and a Sport Australia Hall of Fame scholarship. Evie is a rising star in the sport.
In parallel with her sailing career, Evie is studying Renewable Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney. Her international experiences, including sailing under oil rigs off Texas and wind turbines in Europe’s Black Sea, have fuelled her commitment to green technologies and sustainable practices in both sailing and engineering.
When not competing or studying, Evie winds back the pace, surfing at Manly Beach or hiking the local trails. Driven by her love for the ocean, she is dedicated to merging performance sailing with sustainable solutions, inspiring others to follow their passions while protecting the planet.
