Olivia Elizabeth "Polly" Powrie MNZM (born 9 December 1987) is a New Zealand sailor.[1] She has won Olympic and world championship titles in the 470 class, and is also a former 420 world champion.

## Biography[edit]

Powrie and her sailing partner Jo Aleh, who were known as "Team Jolly",[2] won the gold medal in the 470 class at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[3] In August 2013, exactly a year after winning their Olympic gold medal, Aleh and Powrie won the world title at the 2013 470 World Championships in La Rochelle, France.[4] She and Aleh were named ISAF Female Sailor of the Year, the first New Zealand women to win that award.[5]

Powrie is a graduate of St Cuthbert's College, Auckland.[6]

In the 2013 New Year Honours, Powrie was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to sailing.[7]

Powrie announced her retirement from Olympic sailing on 6 January 2017.[2]
