BIO
The captain of SSL Team Estonia Tõnu Tõniste along with his twin brother Toomas can be described as the true legend of Estonian sailing. The brothers’ Olympic silver medal in the 470 class in Seoul in 1988 was followed by a bronze in Barcelona four years later. Today, they collect titles on the Melges 24 and SB20 boats. As a successful businessman and former Vice President of the Estonian Olympic Committee, Tõnu definitely knows how to lead a team towards the goal.
