Andrew Landenberger is an Australian competitive sailor and Olympic medalist. He won a silver medal in the Tornado class at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, together with Mitch Booth.

By 1989 he claimed his first clean sweep winning the State, National and World Championships in the International Moth Class. Despite spending several years obtaining a Bachelor of Economics Degree, Andrew’s desire to build fast sails always drove him to devote full attention to sailing and the technology side of sail making.

In 2001 Andrew made the decision to move with his family to Germany. Landenberger One Design has developed into a business of 8 staff specializing mostly in One Design Classes. The production is headed up by Felix Egner who has been with the company since 2004.
