Career
Growing up in a highly acknowledged Munster sailing family, Payne knew his way around a boat. He belonged to The Royal Cork Yacht Club and was a respected sailor of Cork Harbor. He competed in the Finn Single-handed Dinghy event at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne and again in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Having to work very hard to get to the Olympics, Payne came 16th at the 1956 Olympics and 18th at the 1960 Olympics both in the mixed one-person dinghy event. In 1946 the National 12 was the biggest dinghy class in Ireland, which Payne would have been considered a national and international star. Later Payne would have carried on to win more National 18 class titles than any other captain, and has listed many Admiral's Cup in his accomplishments.
