Hi, I'm Louisa! This is my second year at Able Sail, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. I have been sailing and racing my entire life, big boats and small, including for the National Yacht Club.  I've volunteered with other organizations and love getting to know and work with people. The past few summers I've worked at yacht clubs here in Toronto and have focused on improving my skills and qualifications, including working toward my commercial captain license.  With the other sports and interests I've enjoyed, I find sailing unique in the perseverance and mental fortitude it requires.  I believe my sailing experience has helped shape the person I am today and it means a lot to me to be able to help others enjoy the sport.  There's nothing better than being out on the water on a lovely summer day.
