At 27, Heather was the youngest skipper in this race and one of two female skippers. Emma and Heather talked about leadership, confidence, navigation and weather routing in a retro race, and much more.

Thanks to our long-time friends at Forbes Horton Yachts for presenting this season of ON THE WIND! Learn more about Forbes at: https://forbesyachts.com/
ON THE WIND is also presented by Harborburn Cannon Co., brought to you by the founders of 59º North Sailing. Harborburn was born of an idea by a group of sailing friends looking for a way to add some fun onboard our boats. We figured “if you own a boat, you need a cannon!”
