Frank Hübner sailed with Harro Bode at the 1976 Montréal Olympics in the Olympic Yachting Center at Kingston, Ontario, in the West German two-person dinghy (470) and won the gold medal. Therefore, they were awarded the Silver Bay Leaf, Germany’s highest sports award. One year earlier they won the bronze medal at the European Championships. Hübner had already won a silver medal at the 1973 Europeans together with non-Olympian Klaus Feldmann. In 1967 and 1969 he had won two West German Youth Championships. Hübner later had a brief stint as a sailing coach. By profession, he was an engineer.
