Rickard Sarby

Erik Rickard Sarby (19 September 1912 – 10 February 1977) was a Swedish sailor. He competed in the mixed one-person dinghy event at the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympics and finished in fourth, third and fifth place, respectively. The success of the subsequent prototype 'FINT' dinghy in sailing trials was sufficient to reverse its rejection in earlier rounds of selection. Further renamed Finn, it remained an Olympic class from Helsinki 1952 to Tokyo 2020, thus being the longest-running class in the Olympic fleet.
