In Her Own Words

My name is Freya Sewell and I am proud to be sponsored by the best brand ever… Musto. I sail in an Optimist in lots of different places. I have a brother, Mum and Dad (and a rabbit) who are very supportive with my sailing.
I have been sailing since I was 7 years old (I’m now 12). I mainly sail in my Optimist doing major events and local regattas but sometimes sail in other boats, like a Feva, in club racing.
I started sailing because of my brother and dad. My dad was sailing and passed this onto my brother. I was always at lots of events when my brother was sailing and I just wanted to have a go too. Once I started I loved it!
At the moment I currently sail an Optimist. I have been sailing an Optimist because that’s what my brother started in so I started to make friends in the class before I sailed. I learnt lots about the boat before I started sailing and when you start sailing them they’re great boats to learn in and the racing is really fun and competitive.
