I am a Commercial Skipper that retired from the professional world of sailing in 2020. I now sail for fun. I have sailed in the role of both skipper and first mate in numerous locations, mainly on delivery yachts, including both North and South Atlantic, the Med and around the Caribbean and BVI’s as well as the UK. I have participated in both the ARC and RORC Transatlantic races. I have worked on ‘high end’ super yachts and charter boats and raced in numerous RORC races including the Fastnet 2021. I am a RYA shorebased instructor (Yachtmaster). I’m a fit, healthy young at heart lady, easy going, loves to do yoga onboard and is happy to help out with all boat roles, I enjoy being part of the team!
