Paula is the proud owner of a Sabre, sometimes a Pacer and playing with a 125 class dinghy<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What made you choose this particular class of boat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially I wanted a cat but was wisely advised to sail a mini before a Ferrari. I can sail it in most weather which I love. There is other Sabres in our club and she has taught me a lot about boat ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you owned any other boats and what were they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nik Nak is my first boat. I also have an interest in a 125 that James and I attempt to fly a kite on and I would like to buy a Laser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What got you interested in sailing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been in my life always. Dad built a boat in his backyard ( I am named after her) !! They bought my brother a Sabot (not me) but it was really finding myself surrounded by water while living on the Isle of Wight that it became part of my life. I have then let sailing take me on adventures; living onboard a ‘Spray’ in Queensland, getting a train to Port Fairy and delivering a boat back through the heads and a few Melbourne to Hobart races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you love about Sailing at Lysterfield?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people in the club, the beautiful lake with it’s kangaroos and native wildlife and the location is good for me. I like being a ‘wind whisperer’; and chasing it around the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you had your Sabre?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 4 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re not sailing, what do you like to do with your time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of renovating with James, painting and everything artistic, eating and cooking with family friends. Teaching sailing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
