Sailing with skipper Leigh in the opening series, the Canadian duo posted a grade of 179 net points to earn a twenty-fifth-place finish in a fleet of twenty-seven boats.

Since his Olympic debut at London 2012, Ramsay has teamed up with windsurfer and three-time Olympian Nikola Girke in the mixed multihull class Nacra 17. They competed together for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, scoring 15th (of 20 competitors).
