McIntosh attempted to qualify for a third Olympics at Beijing in the Soling class but was unsuccessful. He did qualify—with Mark Kennedy—for the two-man Tornado multihull class, but New Zealand did not send them to the games.[2]
He is the coach of Dorian van Rijsselberghe, who won gold at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, as well as Kiran Badloe who won gold at the 2020 Olympics.[3]
