Patryk Piasecki (born 7 August 1986) is a Polish former sailor, who specialized in the two-person dinghy (470) class.[1] Together with his partner and eventual three-time Olympian Kacper Ziemiński, he was named one of the country's top sailors in the double-handed dinghy for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in a lowly eighteenth place.[2] Piasecki also served as a senior member of the sailing roster at the University of Warmia and Mazury's sport academy in Olsztyn (Polish: AZS Uniwersytetu Warmińsko-Mazurskiego w Olsztynie).[3]

Piasecki competed for the Polish sailing squad, as a skipper in the men's 470 class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[2] [4] Four months earlier, he and crew member Ziemiński topped the selection criteria to lock their own 470 berth for the Games, based on his aggregate scores in a lineup of international regattas sanctioned by the Polish Yachting Association.[5] The Polish pair managed to post a couple of top-ten scores throughout the opening regatta, but a random wave of substandard outcomes under windy conditions, however, denied their chances of entering the medal race, sitting both Piasecki and Ziemiński in nineteenth overall with 151 net points.[6]
