Vered Bouskila (born 23 May 1983) is an Israeli Olympic sailor. She competes in the 470 Class double-handed monohull planing dinghy with a centerboard, Bermuda rig, and center sheeting.[1][2] She won a world championship in the women's 420 at the age of 15, and a bronze medal in the world championships in the 470 six years later.

Biography

Buskila is Jewish and was born in Bat Yam, Israel.[3][4] She studied law and political science at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, in Israel.[2]

Sailing career

She learned to sail with the Maccabi Zevelun Club in Bat Yam.[4][5] She sails now for Hapoel Tel Aviv.[2]

In 1998, at the age of 15, she partnered with Limor Kliger, 16, and won the women's world 420 yachting championship in the Gulf of Corinth in Greece.[6][7] They defeated 47 other teams, from 16 countries.[8]

In 2000, she partnered with Nike Kornecki, and in 2001 they won a bronze medal at the European Championships in Ireland.[4][5] In 2004, they won bronze medals in both the European Championship in Germany and the 470 World Championship in Zadar, Croatia.[2][4]

Buskila competed on behalf of Israel at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, in the Women's 470 Class Two-Person Dinghy with Kornecki, and came in 18th.[1] They won a silver medal in the 2005 European Championship.[5]

She competed on behalf of Israel at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, in the Women's 470 Class Two-Person Dinghy with Kornecki, and came in fourth.[1]

Buskila returned to sailing with a new partner, Gil Cohen, in 2010.[9]

On 24 December 2012 Vered Buskila announced her retirement, telling the First Channel TV News: "It would be very painful for me to see the opening ceremony of the next Olympic Games, in which I will not be taking part - but one must know when to stop". She disclosed that, having studied Law concurrently with her sailing activity, she intends to have a new career as a lawyer.
