Beadsworth's experience of top-level sailing dates to 1985 when, as an 18-year-old, he became World Youth Laser Champion.
Since then he has dedicated himself to match racing and the Soling Olympic Class in particular.
On a three-man team that included fellow GBR Challenge member Adrian Stead, Beadsworth finished fourth at the 1996 Olympics.
In Sydney he went into the Games with a realistic hope of winning a medal before finishing 12th.
The 35-year-old has helmed in Admirals Cup and Southern Cross teams and also finished third in the 1999 Sydney-Hobart.
He will be a key member of the afterguard.
