The Salish Seasters team

Who we are

We’re four sailors, friends, and problem-solvers from the Salish Sea. We like cold spray, early mornings, and the kind of teamwork that shows up when the wind doesn’t.

Crew

CaptainMel

Ringleader

Loves route planning, clean sail shapes, and the quiet confidence of a well-packed toolkit.

On race days, she’s the calm center: a steady hand at the helm and a sharp eye on the forecast.

Outside of sailing, she’s the one who turns big goals into checklists and makes sure the snacks are practical.

Her favorite moments are the ones you earn: glassy dawns, long reaches, and the first lights of a new harbor.

Stokemaster

Equal parts sailor and tinkerer—always chasing efficiency, whether it’s rig tuning or pedal-drive torque.

If something can be simplified, she’ll find the way. If something can be fixed at sea, she’ll pack the parts.

She’s happiest when the boat is humming: sails drawing, gear sorted, and every line running fair.

Her superpower is making the hard stuff feel manageable—then doing it again the next hour.

Audrey

Fairy Chartmother

Fast on deck and quicker with a laugh—she reads clouds like a map and keeps morale high.

She’s the first to call a squall line and the first to volunteer for the cold job on the foredeck.

In training, she’s relentless about drills: reefs, gybes, man-overboard practice, and ‘do it tired’ repetitions.

Her goal is steady progress: keep moving, keep learning, and keep the team laughing when it’s rough.

The Ringer

Powered by stubborn optimism and strong legs—she’s all about endurance, pacing, and smart decisions.

When the breeze dies, she’s ready: pedals turning, eyes on the shoreline, and a plan for the next mile.

She has a sixth sense for when the team needs fuel, rest, or a reset—then makes it happen.

Her favorite part of racing is the teamwork: the small handoffs and quiet trust that add up to big miles.
