They achieved two victories in seven races and they finished the regatta with 33.7 total points, with which they won the gold medal and became Olympic champion in front of the Brazilian boat of Torben Grael and the Canadian boat led by Hans Fogh .

At world championships he won the title with Davis and Haines in Visby as early as 1979 and the silver medal in Ponce the following year . In both years he also succeeded in winning the title at the Kieler Woche , and in 1978 he was North American and 1979 American champions in Soling. Trevelyan was originally scheduled for the 1980 Olympic team, but missed it due to the US boycott of the Games.
