A Legacy on the Water: Why I Want Fat Bottom Girl Racing to Live Beyond Me

Sailing has never been just a sport for me—it’s a passion, a challenge, and a way of life. When I started Fat Bottom Girl Racing, it wasn’t just about winning races; it was about building something bigger than myself. The thrill of competition, the camaraderie among crew members, and the sheer beauty of a boat moving through the water under a well-trimmed sail are experiences I want to share with generations to come.

More Than a Team—A Movement

Fat Bottom Girl Racing was founded on the principles of skill, strategy, and sportsmanship. But more than that, it was built to push the limits, inspire new sailors, and create a competitive yet welcoming space for those passionate about the sport. I don’t want it to be just a moment in time. I want it to become a lasting force that continues to shape and grow the sailing community long after my days at the helm.

Fostering the Next Generation

One of the greatest rewards in sailing is seeing new talent develop. Whether it’s young sailors eager to test their skills or seasoned racers looking for the next big challenge, Fat Bottom Girl Racing has always been about bringing people together to compete, learn, and grow. By ensuring this team outlives me, I can help keep that spirit alive—mentoring, coaching, and passing down knowledge so that the next generation can carry the torch forward.

Pushing the Sport Forward

Sailing is constantly evolving, and I want Fat Bottom Girl Racing to be at the forefront of that progress. Whether it’s through advancements in technology, new racing strategies, or a commitment to inclusivity in the sport, this team can be a lasting contributor to competitive sailing. Keeping it going means ensuring that innovation and excellence remain at the heart of everything we do.

Building a Legacy That Lasts

At the end of the day, trophies and accolades are great, but they aren’t what truly matter. What matters is the community, the experiences, and the impact we leave behind. Fat Bottom Girl Racing isn’t just my team—it’s a part of the sailing world, and my dream is for it to continue inspiring, competing, and growing the sport for years to come.

The sea doesn’t belong to any one sailor, and neither does the legacy of a great racing team. With the right leadership, vision, and passion, Fat Bottom Girl Racing will keep cutting through the water, winning races, and bringing sailors together long into the future. And that’s a future worth fighting for.
