Stuart McNay (born August 1, 1981 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American sailor, who specialized in two-person dinghy (470) class.[1][2] He represented the United States, along with his partner Graham Biehl, in two editions of the Olympic Games (2008 and 2012), and has also been training for Beverly Yacht Club in Beverly, Massachusetts throughout most of his sporting career under his longtime coach and mentor Kevin Burnham.[1][3] As of September 2014, McNay is ranked sixth in the world for two-person dinghy class by the International Sailing Federation, following his successes at the North American Championships and ISAF Sailing World Cup Series in Miami, Florida, United States.[4]
McNay made his official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he paired up with crew member Graham Biehl in the men's 470 class. The American duo finished thirteenth in a ten-round opening series with a net score of 105, edging out Israel's Gideon Kliger and Udi Gal by a tight, three-point gap from the final standings.[5][6]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, McNay competed for the second time as a helmsman in the men's 470 class by finishing thirteenth and receiving a berth from the ISAF World Championships in Perth, Western Australia.[7][8] Teaming again with Biehl in the opening series, the American duo sailed from behind to post a net score of 108 points and establish a satisfying fourteenth-place finish in fleet of twenty-seven boats.[9][10]
Two years later, at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, McNay and his new partner David Hughes set a best career record with a fifth-place finish in the men's 470 class to secure their spot on the U.S. sailing team for the Olympics.[11][12]
