Junior has been selected ahead of Andy Maloney, who also just missed out of making the Rio2016 Olympic team.
The 31-year-old Wellingtonian received the nomination off the back of his consistently high results at pinnacle events.
In 2019 Junior became the first Kiwi to win the Finn Gold Cup (World Championships) since its introduction in 1956. He followed that result with bronze at this month s Finn Gold Cup in Portugal.
Maloney won the world title in Portugal, not only illustrating the depth of Finn sailing in this country but also emphasising the success of the pair s shared campaign approach. Maloney will now take over as Junior s coach for the Olympics.
