He attempted to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in the Laser class, but missed out on a spot in the New Zealand Olympic team to eventual bronze medallist, Sam Meech. His sister, Alex Maloney, is a professional sailor who won Silver at the 2016 Summer Olympics in a 49erFX with Sam Meech's sister, Molly.

Maloney joined Team New Zealand in November 2016. He added 10 kg in muscle to bulk up for a grinding role on the boat. The role turned out to be as a "cyclor", after Team New Zealand decided to install pedal powered grinders. Maloney was part of the crew that won the 2017 America's Cup.
