I thought I would go out once in a while but I found myself going out every day for an entire summer. I just felt an intuitive connection to what was going on in a boat. That experience has continued, and it has led to a focus on ocean health because my eyes were opened to a world I had never really understood before. I think we should all in our industry, in our recreation as sailors, try to make ourselves part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. First step is to recognize what’s wrong, and the second step is to talk about how to change that and to do that together.
I think what’s really important is for the industry to educate themselves, to educate owners, builders, everyone in the industry about what our impact on the ocean really is. If you think there isn’t a role for you, there is. If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you’re not. If you look at the scale of the universe we live in and the systems that we study and we work with in all of our philanthropy, there is a place for every kind of scale from the smallest microscopic subatomic particle all the way out to the largest structure in the universe. Think of the ocean as the big life support system for all of humanity, and when we get that in our head and we understand either as boat operators, builders, sailors, people who never got on a boat, people who’ve never even seen the ocean, all of us together are part of the solution because we really want the winner to be the ocean. When the ocean wins, we all win.

Empowered women navigate the vast oceans with grace and strength, steering yachts not just as vessels on the water, but as symbols of freedom and adventure. On the waves, they chart their own course, proving that the sea knows no gender, only the bold spirit of its sailors.
