Jordan & Grant Janov — Chasing LA2028 in the 49er

The Rotary Club of Marina del Rey is proud to welcome Jordan and Grant Janov, brothers and Santa Monica Bay locals who are campaigning full-time for the 2028 Olympic Games in the 49er — the fastest, most demanding two-person skiff in Olympic sailing.

Jordan, 20, and Grant, 23, came up through the youth sailing programs right here in Marina del Rey. This evening they’ll trace that path: from junior sailing on our own water to an Olympic campaign that will race in front of a home crowd in 2028.

Their story is a reminder of how much youth sailing matters to this community — and how far it can carry a kid who gets the chance to start. Guests are warmly welcome.
