Randolph L. Smyth (born July 7, 1954) is an American competitive sailor and two-time Olympic silver medalist.

At the 1984 Summer Olympics, Smyth finished in 2nd place in the tornado along with his partner Jay Glaser.

In 2022 Smyth again competed in the Worrell 1000, under the Team Rudee's banner and won several early legs of the competition.

[4][5] Smyth has competed multiple times for the Hobie Alter Cup, a competition designed to determine the U.S. national multihull champion, and organized by US Sailing, the sports federation that oversees amateur and Olympic sailing in the United States.

Both movies featured maxi-multihull sailboats of over 60 feet length, which are extremely high-performance boats that require an experienced helmsman to safely sail.
