Hans-Peter Steinacher (born September 9, 1968 in Zell am See) is an Austrian sailor and Olympic champion. He won a gold medal in the Tornado Class with Roman Hagara at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. They won the gold medal again at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. This, to date, makes them Austria’s the most successful summer sport athletes as the first professional Austrian sailing team.
Along with his teammate Roman Hagara, he has won the Austrian Sports Personality of the Year twice, in 2000 and 2004.
Since 2009 he has focused more on the big boat scene with Roman Hagara, including competing on an America’s Cup yacht at Hagara-Steinacher Racing (HS Racing) in the 2011–13 America's Cup World Series.
Under the flag of the United States for San Francisco’s Golden Gate Yacht Club, the duo competed in a 2013 America’s Cup World Series event in Naples, Italy. Racing this event gave the team firsthand experience in what has become Hagara and Steinacher’s primary focus, mentoring the next generation of sailors on the next generation of sail boats: hydrofoils.
Hans-Peter Steinacher is currently also the tactician for Red Bull Extreme Sailing Team in the Extreme Sailing Series. With the series' announcement that foiling catamarans will be part of its future, Hagara and Steinacher have taken on a full crew of athletes who honed their skills in the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup.
As of 2015, Hans-Peter Steinacher and Roman Hagara mentor young sailors in three series: as sports directors of Red Bull Foiling Generation and the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup, and as leaders of the Red Bull Extreme Sailing Team that competes in the Extreme Sailing Series. Hagara and Steinacher look for the best and most talented sailors in their respective age groups to give them insights and show them a new way of sailing.
