What is your age?
15 years old
What are you studying, or what did you study?
I am still at school and in year 10 my first year of the GCSE course.
What do you sail?
I sail toppers and a bit of 29ers.
Where do you sail?
I sail at Parkstone Yacht Club in Poole.
Who introduced you to sailing?
My mum when I was around 8 months old. We sailed Poole AB’s in CAP (child and parent) for a couple of years and then I moved up the fleet into AB gold, then topper 4.2 and I am currently sailing in a topper 5.3 as well as a bit of 29ers.
Do you have a role model/inspirational person that you follow? If so, why do you find them inspirational?
Hannah Mills is my inspiration. I met her at Parkstone Youth Week a couple of years ago and she really stood out to me as she is a two time world champion in the women’s 470 class ( which I was really impressed by).
What would be your best advice or top tips for younger sailors or new sailors?
Tell us something about you that no one else knows
I used to play rugby in a mixed and all girls team as scrum half (number 9) for a few years.
What’s your superpower?
Downwind legs on races. It’s where I normally gain the most places if I’m not doing the best in a race, especially if there are waves that I can surf.
What bit of sailing kit can you not live without? And why?
I love both my race watch and Rooster hikers. The hikers are so comfortable and help in the heavier breezes.
