MEET THE TEAM

25 years old, Megan is currently sailing and coaching full time. Megan fell in love with sailing when her father introduced her to double-handed dinghies. She progressed up through single-handed fleets before finding match racing and a great group of girls to yacht with (now known as 2.0 Racing). When Megan's not sailing, you will  find her scaling cliffs, mountain biking, or first in line at the ice cream store. 

27 years old, Ellie has spent much of her life on, in and around the water. She is thankful to have had the opportunity to sail a range of classes both locally and internationally, including a campaign towards the 2016 Rio Olympics in the 49erFX. She is now loving the new challenges that match racing brings. During the week she keeps herself busy working as a senior consultant in one of NZs leading market research and insight agencies. Ellie can often be found winging, kitesurfing or hiking. Ellie also enjoys (not so secretly) nerding out playing board games.

Her love for the sport started at a young age but if she’s not on the water, you could catch her under it free-diving or surfing exploring the beautiful NZ coastline.
