Suspect wages vary somewhat depending upon reputation. Certainly only one olympic gold medal wouldn't guarantee a big pay packet.

I suspect wages afford a £30k dinghy with a global circuit taking in the Far East, Australia, the Americas and the prime European hotspots at a regular rotation.... I guess it kind of helps that pro sailors can push these costs above their taxable income lines, and honestly, good luck to them - mixing talent with training and hard work to fund a lifestyle is not to be scoffed at on the Internet. But I would struggle to feel any kind of sympathy for encountering the routine skunkings the rest of us are susceptible too.... that's sailing unfortunately.

Not a lot when you look at Football and Snooker etc, highest paying sports are televisual sports and games, hopefully, if tv can get a sailing pitch that works, our top sailors can make a decent living.
