Pip has recently started sailing again but has changed classes and is now competing in the 470 class. She has been teamed up with Tasmanian Female Sailor of the Year, Amelia Catt. The pair have only been training together for the past 3 weeks in Sydney under national coach, Beijing 2008 gold medalist, Nathan Wilmot.
Last week Pip and Amelia competed in their first event together at the ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne at the new venue, St Kilda. As this was only their first event together and with limited training pre the regatta, the team was focused on working together and boat handling rather than the overall result but they still managed to sail well across the event and come away with 3rd overall, which they are both extremely proud of.
Pip and Amelia are now off to Sydney to continue training hard to achieve even better results.
