Georgios Andreadis

After starting out as a sailor at a young age Georgios Andreadis went on to represent Greece at two Olympic Games. Andreadis and Stavros Psarrakis competed in the Flying Dutchman at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and finished in 22nd place. At the 1976 Montréal Olympics all the sailing events took place off the coast of Kingston, Ontario, on Lake Ontario. Andreadis was the helmsman in the Soiling event and with the crew of Georgios Perrakis and Konstantinos Lymperakis the Greek team finished in 14th place.

Following his career as a sailor Andreadis served in multiple roles for World Sailing including as the chair of the keelboat committee, as a member of the offshore committee, and eventually as the organisations Vice-President. He was awarded with the Olympic Order in Silver in 2010 and in 2016 World Sailing bestowed him with their highest honour with the Beppe Croce Award.
