TEAM MAC

Sisters Lucy and Kate have raced and won several international medals together in the previous Match Racing class. Now that Match Racing has been replaced for the Rio 2016 Olympics by the Nacra 17 and 49erFX classes, the girls have a fresh challenge with new boats and team members Andrew Walsh and Katrina Best.

The girls both grew up in Poole Harbour living and dreaming sailing. They are hugely passionate about the sport, the Olympic Games and racing in successful teams.
