Mark Ivey is Everybody’s Favorite Person to Lose to
Earlier this year, San Francisco Yacht Club Member Mark Ivey was awarded the 2023 US Sailing Kevin Burnham Memorial Award. This honor is presented to a US sailor who embodies the spirit of the late Olympic silver and gold medalist Kevin Burnham: passion, persistence, perseverance and sportsmanship on and off the water. Ivey has a long list of regatta wins as a competitor and as a coach. He has been a multi-time All-American Sailor; a keelboat champ in multiple classes; and a world- and Olympic-champ coach, taking a team to gold success. This summer, at the age of 46, Mark will have competed in and coached a combined 50 world championships.
Ivey’s nomination for the Kevin Burnham Memorial Award read: “…The fact that he’s everyone’s favorite person to lose to says a lot about his approach to the sport, to say nothing of his sailing skills.”
