Will Jones est le skippeur d\u2019un 49er, un biplace. Il a fait ses premiers pas olympiques aux Jeux de Tokyo 2020 avec son co\u00e9quipier Evan DePaul , prenant le 19e<\/sup> rang.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s la retraite de DePaul \u00e0 l\u2019automne 2022, Jones a fait \u00e9quipe avec Justin Barnes pour participer aux Championnats du monde de World Sailing \u00e0 La Haye, aux Pays-Bas. Encourag\u00e9s par leur performance, ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de continuer \u00e0 naviguer ensemble. En d\u00e9but d\u2019ann\u00e9e 2023, ils ont pris la neuvi\u00e8me place \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition de la S\u00e9rie de l\u2019Open de voile des \u00c9tats-Unis tenue \u00e0 Miami, puis le quatri\u00e8me rang \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de la S\u00e9rie de l\u2019Open de voile des \u00c9tats-Unis de Clearwater. Ce dernier r\u00e9sultat leur a permis de se qualifier pour les Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de Santiago 2023, o\u00f9 ils ont d\u00e9croch\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille de bronze ainsi qu\u2019une place de quota pour le Canada en 49er en vue des Jeux de Paris 2024. Ils ont d\u00e9croch\u00e9 cette place olympique pour eux-m\u00eames en se retrouvant au sommet du classement canadien \u00e0 l\u2019issue des deux r\u00e9gates de s\u00e9lection. Jones et Barnes ont aussi form\u00e9 le meilleur \u00e9quipage canadien en 49er aux Championnats du monde de World Sailing 2023 de m\u00eame qu\u2019aux Championnats du monde de 49er et 49er FX 2024.<\/p>\n

T\u00f4t dans sa carri\u00e8re, Jones a navigu\u00e9 seul dans les cat\u00e9gories C420 et Laser avant de se laisser attirer par les d\u00e9fis de la cat\u00e9gorie du d\u00e9riveur biplace. Ce duo a fait \u00e9quipe pour la premi\u00e8re fois \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2015 \u00e0 bord d\u2019un 49er FX, avant de passer au 49er en 2016. Un an plus tard seulement, ils ont remport\u00e9 l\u2019or aux Championnats du monde juniors disput\u00e9s \u00e0 leur centre d\u2019entra\u00eenement \u00e0 domicile de Kingston, en Ontario.<\/p>\n

Jones et DePaul se sont pr\u00e9valus de la place canadienne du 49er aux Jeux de Tokyo 2020 apr\u00e8s avoir men\u00e9 la meilleure embarcation canadienne aux Championnats du monde de 2020 dans cette cat\u00e9gorie. Ils ont am\u00e9lior\u00e9 leur meilleur r\u00e9sultat \u00e0 vie aux Mondiaux par plus de 20 places au classement, marquant l\u2019aboutissement d\u2019un travail sur leurs faiblesses tandis que de nombreux petits \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont tomb\u00e9s en place.<\/p>\n

Alors qu\u2019il fr\u00e9quentait l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Queen\u2019s, il a repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 son \u00e9cole \u00e0 de nombreuses r\u00e9gates, remportant notamment une victoire avec son \u00e9quipe \u00e0 la Coupe du monde \u00e9tudiante de voile de 2016 \u00e0 La Rochelle, en France.<\/p>\n
