Adam Beashel Sailing career Sport Sailing

**Adam Beashel** is an Australian sailor. He is best known for being part of [Team New Zealand](/source/Team_New_Zealand) at the [2003 America's Cup](/source/2003_America's_Cup) and strategist for Emirates Team New Zealand at the [2007 America's Cup](/source/2007_America's_Cup).[1]

Beashel was part of the *[oneAustralia](/source/OneAustralia)* team that came second in the [1995 Louis Vuitton Cup](/source/1995_Louis_Vuitton_Cup).[2]

He is also a [49er](/source/49er_(dinghy)) sailor. Together with [Teague Czislowski](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teague_Czislowski&action=edit&redlink=1), he came second in that class at the 1999 World Championships[3] to [Chris Nicholson](/source/Chris_Nicholson_(sailor)) and [Ed Smyth](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ed_Smyth&action=edit&redlink=1).

He and Czislowski won the national selection process for the 2000 Olympics in the 49er class, but the [Australian Yachting Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Yachting_Federation&action=edit&redlink=1) instead nominated Nicholson and [Daniel Phillips](/source/Daniel_Phillips_(sailor)) for the sole spot at the Olympics as they were considered better possibilities for a medal.[4][5] Nicholson and Phillips eventually finished sixth.[6] He was injured in April 2007 while with Emirates Team New Zealand, and was replaced by [Mark Mendelblatt](/source/Mark_Mendelblatt).[7]

He is from a sailing family. His father [Ken Beashel](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ken_Beashel&action=edit&redlink=1) is a sailor and boat builder in Sydney. His brother [Colin](/source/Colin_Beashel) is an Olympic medal winning sailor who crewed on *[Australia II](/source/Australia_II)* in 1983.[8] His wife [Lanee Butler](/source/Lanee_Butler) is a [boardsailor](/source/Windsurfing) who competed at four Olympics.

He and Lanee have two young sons, born in 2008 and 2009.
