Gijsbertus "Ben" Verhagen (29 September 1926 – 4 January 2020) was a sailor from the
Netherlands, who represented his country at the
1960 Summer Olympics in
Naples. Verhagen, as helmsman on the Dutch
Flying Dutchman Daisy (H102), took 5th place with crew
Gerard Lautenschutz (race 1–5) and
Jaap Helder (Race 6&7). During the
1964 Summer Olympics in
Naples and
1968 Summer Olympics in
Acapulco he again helmed Daisy (H157/H187), this time with
Nick de Jong, and finished in 6th and 18th place, respectively.
For the
1976 Olympics Verhagen made an attempt in the
Tempest but failed to qualify. He also tried the
Soling in the late 1970s and the 1980s.
