Keith Wilkins is a British sailor who competed in the Laser class. He won the men's title at the 1976 Laser European Championship in Torquay, England.[1] He sailed for Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club (Bristol), which lists him among notable former members of its Laser fleet, and later raced and coached with Chelmarsh Sailing Club (Shropshire).[2][3][4]
Wilkins later became one of the most successful competitors in the Laser/ILCA Masters scene. At the 2010 Laser Masters Worlds (Hayling Island, UK) he won the Laser Radial Great Grand Master fleet and was reported as taking his 11th Laser Worlds title.[5][6][7] By 2012 he was described as a 12-time world champion during the Laser World Masters in Brisbane, Australia.[8]
Earlier in 2010 he also claimed titles at the Open Asia Pacific Laser Championships (Royal Varuna YC, Pattaya), winning the Great Grand Master category and placing third in the Radial fleet overall.[9] In later years he continued to feature at Masters level, including a podium in the Radial Great Grand Master division at the 2015 Laser Masters Worlds (Kingston, Canada).[10][11]
