Claire Wrathall Caroline White

Caroline is associate editor ofBoat International US Editionand has worked

forThe Times. She lives in London and her yacht experiences range from

chasing the action at Hamilton Island Race week in Australia to a day

cruising Antigua with Pete Townshend on his classic sailing yacht.

Spotted any sailing yachts you like?The newest WallycentoTango

(page 118) is a work of modern art whose pared-back beauty will appeal

to sailors and non-sailors alike

Ever hauled in a spinnaker?Yes,

on 123ftEscapadeat the Loro Piana

Regatta in Porto Cervo. I was in

physical contact with it anyway.

The pro “rock star” sailors on board

for the racing may have been doing

the heavy lifting...

Most memorable sailing experience?

Falling repeatedly from a Laser into

the Thames at Ravens Ait island, near

London, as a child. I now prefer boats

with competent skippers and spacious

cockpits for keeping out of the way

Kate crewed on a superyacht before

to throw the perfect chic-yet-

sustainable party on board (page 44).

Is there anything you’ve learned

while writing this feature that you’ll

implement yourself? Reusable bottles

are at the top of my “must-buy” list

What’s the best piece of advice

you’ve received on entertaining

sustainably?Be proud of it! Make

it fun, get your guests involved and

inspire them to spread the word

Your favorite party trick?Limbo

dancing – on a good day!

What’s the best party you’ve ever

attended?Sailing over the Equator

at midnight in a spa pool in fancy dress

takes some beating
