Melodie grew up in a sailing family, and was an elite racer until her early 20's. After a successful career and time to raise her family, she re-kindled her passion for sailing when she entered the RORC 600 Caribbean race in 2017. Fast forward to 2023, when Melodie was the only female skipper in the Globe 40 Around the World Race, setting three speed records.
Named for Canada's national bird, Whiskey Jack is Melodie's Class 40 offshore racing sailboat.
Melodie will be touring Whiskey Jack around Lake Ontario in 2024 as she prepares for her next big adventure.
Stayed tuned for her itinerary.
The next edition of the Globe 40 Around the World Race starts in Tangier, Morocco in early 2025.
Melodie and her team are busy getting ready for the race.
Stayed tuned for details on how you can join in.
