Welcome to the website of Team McGovern & Seaton, we are a new young team of sailors from Northern Ireland sailing in the Olympic 49er class currently competing to qualify for the Olympics in London 2012 representing Ireland.

Matthew McGovern & Ryan Seaton teamed up in April 2009, Matthew is regarded as one of the best 49er crews in the world and has the previous experience of an Olympic campaign in 2008 with his brother Russell.

Ryan was mounting a successful campaign in the single handed laser dinghy class, his best ever result being a 5^th overall place in the World championships at just 18 years of age. These two sailors have combined their talents, passion & determination for success to make it to London 2012 and compete against the world best sailors.
