Andrew Mollerus grew up in Larchmont, New York, learning to race in the Larchmont Yacht Club junior program before becoming co-captain of the Harvard sailing team and an ICSA All-American.

Now one of the United States' top skiff sailors, he teamed with Trevor Bornarth for a Los Angeles 2028 campaign that has started superbly: by June 2026 the pair were ranked second in the world, having taken silver at Dutch Water Week on the Grand Slam circuit.

With a home Olympics on the horizon, Mollerus is a genuine US medal hope.
