Randall Scott Steele (born February 26, 1958) is an American competitive sailor, World Champion (Windsurfer) and Olympic Silver Medalist (Yachting/Sailing/Windglider) Career At the 1984 Summer Olympics, Steele finished in 2nd place in the men's Windglider sailing/windsurfing competition. Prior to that, he was honored as a two-time All American Intercollegiate sailor while at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Scott was the first All American from St. Mary's along with his teammate in 1979, Monty Spindler, and was honored into the St. Mary's College of Maryland Hall of Fame in 1990. While at St. Mary's, Scott learned how to Windsurf from his brother Ron, and helped bring Windsurfing to St. Mary's. Around his Intercollegiate sailing schedule for St. Mary's, Scott occasionally attended a Windsurfing competition but remained a sailor first through his college years. Upon graduating college, Windsurfing (commonly referred to as Boardsailing at the time) was simultaneously named as a new Olympic sport. The timing was good so he tried out and made the US Boardsailing Team. His first job out of college was with Mark Lindsay Imports (who was importer of the Olympic Class Windglider) a perfect match. In the Fall of 1981, Scott attended the Windglider World's in Palamos, Spain and finished 4th out of over 100 competitors marking the beginning of an Olympic campaign as a US Boardsailing team member under Coach Major Hall. Scott finished in the top 10 of the Windglider World's each year after that, 1982 (8th place, Messina, Italy) and 1983 (9th place, Bermuda). Also, racing the Windsurfer brand sailboard, Scott won both his class in the 1982 American Championship (San Diego), and the 1983 Windsurfer World Championships (Kingston, Ontario) with several hundred competitors in each. Over this time, Scott competed successfully in many other sailboard classes including the highly competitive Mistral class. Mistral Windsurfing became a supporter of Scott and eventually his employer. Scott had impressive results racing the Mistral Class winning Midwinter and National Championships as well as a 4th in the 1983 Mistral World's (Barbados), and 5th at the 1984 Mistral World's (Sousse, Tunisia). The 1984 Olympic year, he was challenged fiercely at the US Olympic Trials as only 1 competitor per country could earn the right to compete at the Olympic Games . It was a hurdle that Scott cleared but was pushed extremely hard by his US challengers (held at the eventual Olympic competition site in Long Beach, CA).
