Helena Scutt began racing dinghies competitively relatively late after a soccer-obsessed childhood. Sailing had always been a part of her life, having grown up on Lake Washington near Seattle, she excelled in the 29er class and was selected for the U.S. Sailing Development Team, progressing through to the 49fx and Nacra 17. Helena took up Moth sailing in 2018 to complement her training in the Nacra class. In this episode, Helena shares her experiences of getting into this particular dinghy, racing at the Moth Worlds in Lake Garda, and her vision as the recently appointed Vice President of the Moth Class.
