Anthony Bruce Kendall MBE (born 27 June 1964) is a two-time Olympic medallist in sailing for New Zealand.
Kendall also competed at the following Olympics in Barcelona,[2] just failing to win another medal due to faulty equipment.
In 2002 Kimberly Birkenfeld, on a windsurfer, collided with a Yachting New Zealand motorboat driven by Kendall about one nautical mile from the Olympic sailing venue in Athens, Greece.
Since the accident Birkenfeld now has to rely on a wheelchair for travelling long distances, suffers shortness of breath, and struggles to speak.
The High Court limited compensation payable to Birkenfeld to the extent of Yachting NZ's insurance cover of $500,000.
[6] In the 1989 Queen's Birthday Honours, Kendall was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to boardsailing.
