Biography

Iain MacDonald-Smith first teamed-up with [Rodney Pattisson] in 1967, when they finished second in the British championships. With Pattisson as helmsman and MacDonald-Smith as crew, it proved to be a highly successful partnership and together they won three World, two European and three British titles. At the 1968 Olympics, they entered the ultra-modern Superdocious and won the gold medals with the most overwhelming victory ever achieved in any class in the history of Olympic yachting. Iain MacDonald-Smith, who was educated at Marlborough and Selwyn College, Cambridge, before becoming a solicitor, was only a reserve for the 1972 Olympics but he competed again in 1976, finishing 13th in the Soling Class.
