A little about Yvette:
I love sailing 18 footers with the challenging and fun racing that it gives you. I am also passionate to be sailing 18ft skiffs and showing younger girls that they too can sail such a fun boat as the 18s, where I enjoy been involved in opportunities to take out younger girls for a ride on the 18. I also volunteer as a Director of the Australian 18 Footer League where I can help to ensure the longevity of a sailing class that I looked up to as a teenager and am really enjoying the challenge of sailing them now.
I am also navigator on yachts, and have completed 3 Sydney to Hobarts as navigator. This year is bringing greater opportunity where I will have my introduction into big boat navigating on a 72ft yacht for the BWPS and Sydney to Hobart, also competing in the Maxi series and SOLAS Big Boat day.
