“I used to do a lot of girlie sailing,” says this veteran of top-level women’s sailing events with a bit of a wicked smile. “Recently I’ve sailed on the J Class Rainbow and several Maxis. Moving onto the larger boats is a bit of a learning curve: everything has to be in place to keep things fun and safe. I have come to the Med to do a series of regattas aboard Seawave starting with the Southern Wind Trophy. From here we’ll go to the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo and then on to the Superyacht Cup in Palma. It should be fun,” she adds with a bit of understatement.
