Sailed the 2025 Offshore Double Handed World Championships with Lincoln Dews, qualifying second from Cowes in a brutal 24 hour race. A remarkable return to offshore sailing after two years away focused on ocean rowing.

Won the Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup with WindWhisper Racing Team as Boat Captain, winning all legs of the Sprint Cup. My fourth participation in the race.

Skippered the iconic yacht Maiden for part of her global tour from 2019 to 2023, delivering the Maiden Factor Foundation's message for girls' education to ports across the world.

Raced the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race as Boat Captain and Watch Captain on Turn the Tide on Plastic, a mixed crew campaign raising global awareness of ocean plastic pollution. My third round the world race.

Raced the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race with Team SCA, the first all-female crew to compete in the race since 2002. My second round the world race.

Raced the 2009 Rolex Fastnet Race aboard Class 40 Initiatives Saveurs with skipper Tanguy de Lamotte, winning the Class 40 division in one of offshore sailing's most iconic races

Attempted a solo round the world record in 2009 aboard a 16 metre carbon yacht. Lost the mast 158 miles west of Madeira and sailed myself 600 miles to Lisbon on a jury rig. One of the most harrowing experiences of my career, but one I'm hugely proud of: I got myself and the boat safely to shore.

Competed eight times in La Solitaire du Figaro, one of France's most demanding solo offshore races, as one of very few non-French competitors on the circuit.

During a race stopover in France, I saw these crazy 6.5m boats that people raced across oceans alone and decided I needed one in my life, though couldn't afford to buy one, so needed to build one. I had no idea how to build a boat but introduced myself to NZ boat builder Chris Sayer who was about to build his own mini and convinced him to let me help him by day and me then replicate the same on my boat next to his by night. 
6 months later I had built my very own carbon fibre mini racing yacht. With a fair bit of help and guidance along the way.

The race that literally showed me the world and the world of offshore sailing.  I risked everything to be part of this team and when I finally got the chance to step on board, I knew this life was for me. I had never even seen snow before and here I was literally dodging icebergs in the southern ocean and living my best life!

This was in acknowledgement of our win in the Sydney to Hobart, I was the first female skipper to win a division in the race which we raced under the PNG flag.

This was in acknowledgement of our achievement in the disastrous 1998 Sydney - Hobart and a successful Hobie 16 season.

We tried to take as many of the same crew as possible from our 1998 team to try 'get back on the horse' after the fateful year prior. We ended up winning our race division and winning the Jane Tate Memorial trophy for the first female skipper to finish.

The race that could have been the beginning or the end of a career in offshore sailing and ocean adventure. I believe it helped define me as a seaman, being exposed to such large scale disaster, danger and chaos at 19 years old was a hard thing to cope with, but the comradery and leadership it exposed me to where valuable lessons I never forget.

Silver Medal, Hobie 16 World Championship, Airlie Beach.

Bronze medal, Hobie 16 World Championship. I learnt how to sail on Hobie 16's when someone thought I was the right weight to be there crew. At first I hated the idea of sailing as I was a fishing nut. Once we went out in windy, rough conditions and we capsized a few times - I was hooked. We trained nearly every day for months and months, it was my first taste of international competition.

Coming 3rd in the SP games held in Tahiti whilst representing PNG was a very proud moment for me. I had only been sailing for a year or so and it was a huge eye opener. I have been selected to represent the country again in 2027 at the same venue!
