Harry Price / Max Paul

Harry Price came to sailing at age 13 and made his name first in match racing, winning the World Youth Match Racing Championship in 2017 and finishing third on the World Match Racing Tour in 2022. He also coached Australia's Youth and Women's America's Cup teams before focusing on his own Olympic skiff campaign.
With crew Max Paul he has driven the Australian 49er sharply up the standings. The 2026 season brought a string of top-six finishes, including fourth in Palma and sixth in Hyeres.
The pair were in medal contention deep into the final day of the 2026 World Championship before settling for sixth, a huge leap from 24th the year before, as they build toward Los Angeles 2028.
A Sydneysider who sails out of Middle Harbour Yacht Club, Max Paul brings high-performance pedigree to the front of the boat, having raced for the Australian team in the 2024 Youth America's Cup.
Crewing for Harry Price, he has been part of Australia's rapid rise in the 49er through 2026, with top-six results in Palma and Hyeres and a sixth-place finish at the World Championship in Quiberon after the duo spent much of the regatta in podium contention.
The pair are building toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic cycle.
