About your skipper, Sinéad
Sinéad grew up in south west UK before heading out to Canada for a year. 13 years later she's still here. She worked a corporate career for many years, before experiencing a traumatic brain injury which halted everything. Turning to her sailing background helped her recover and process a new way of living.

The sea is calling, it's time to answer.
