Poul Richard Høj Jensen "PRHJ" (born 2 June 1944) is a Danish sailor, boatbuilder, sailmaker and Olympic champion. Høj Jensen lives with his wife Sophia alternating in Burnham-on-Crouch and Freetown, Antigua and Barbuda.

Personal life

Professional career

After completing National Service in the Danish Navy, Høj Jensen worked for Paul Elvstrøm and Hans Fogh in the sail, mast and boatbuilding business.

In 1989 the sailmaking business merged with Petticrows in Burnham-on-Crouch, UK, and he concentrated on building One Design Boats; Dragons mainly. As Høj Jensen was involved in the nautical business, he was for many years formally (rules of International Olympic Committee & World Sailing) considered a professional sailor. However he was he never paid to sail, he also worked during his four Olympic Campaigns with little or no sponsorship. Høj Jensen considers himself to be a gifted amateur.

Olympics

Høj Jensen participated in four consecutive Olympics from 1968. Together with Erik Hansen and Valdemar Bandolowski he won a gold medal in the Soling class at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal,[1] and again at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.[2]
