Age: 32 Director of sales and

marketing at Hodgdon Yachts

and Hodgdon Tenders

I’m the sixth generationof my

family to be involved in this

business and am passionate about

that heritage and history.

Equality will disruptthe industry.

While I don’t feel that women

are excluded in yachting, I would

like to see more balance across all

areas – builders, captains, owners,

designers, yacht managers.

We approach situations diferently

and bring diferent strengths.

I think this diversity would make

for a superior industry.

In 20 years, more private yachts

will be used for environmental

research and ocean conservation.

There will be increased

sustainability without sacrificing

luxury and there will be a renewed

interest in sailing yachts

because of this.
