Why North Sails
the freestyle sail IDOL.Ltd is ultra light and very neutral which makes it very easy for ducking moves and gives me a lot of control while sailing.
What do you want to be remembered for
For being a happy and nice person and for being a good friend! And maybe for motivating and inspiring other girls and women to push your limits 🙂
