Nail varnish life…

When people have a look at my left hand they might wonder how on earth my nails are done, or maybe they think; surely a brush is a better tool for nail varnish than a paint-ball gun??

It’s taken me a little while and a professional nail course to learn a method that doesn’t get nail varnish everywhere except on my actual nails…

Practice makes perfect!

I love playing around with nail varnish and trying different things…

Experimentation!

Normally I’ll always have my nails painted during major competition, and being a superstitious nightmare, I tend to stick to the same colours for the entirety of the regatta…

I mean just last month in Melbourne at the Para World Champs, I changed from black to pink for one day, and it was our worst day!! Spooky….

Of course you have to be patriotic about these things…

I do occasionally treat myself to some acrylic or gel extensions, I mean who doesn’t love a good manicure!

I’m Hannah

This space is where I share the journey, the grind, and the joy of life on and off the water. From the highs of competition to the behind-the-scenes battles for inclusion in our sport, you’ll find honesty here—no sugar-coating. Sailing has shaped my life, and this blog is about giving back: telling the stories that matter, celebrating the people who push boundaries, and highlighting why our community is so special.

Whether you’re a sailor, supporter, or just curious about what it takes to fight for change in sport, I hope you’ll find inspiration (and maybe a bit of fire) here. Together, we can prove that sailing is for everyone, everywhere.

Welcome aboard—let’s set sail.
