Imre Taveter (born 21 April 1967 in Keila) is a retired Estonian sailor who specialized in the Finn class.[1] He has been selected to compete for Estonia in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and has trained throughout his sporting career at Pärnu Yachtclub.[2]
Taveter made his Olympic debut, as a 33-year-old yachtsman, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he finished twenty-second in the Finn class with a grade of 102.[3][4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Taveter had been offered an invitational place from the International Sailing Federation to compete on his second Estonian team in the men's Finn class.[5][6] Taveter recorded a net grade of 221 to round out the fleet of twenty-five sailors in last place, trailing Italy's Michele Marchesini in the overall standings by a twenty-point margin.[7]
