Twitch on the River Derwent sailing in the BYC Crown Series Regatta © Jane Austin Sandy McManus started sailing an NS14 with a neighbour as a 12-year-old from the Lauderdale Yacht Club. Wind the clock forward to 2020 and McManus is lining up for her fourth Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race on Twitch. So, what drives this calm and quiet achiever and how does she rate her team s chances in the upcoming Launceston to Hobart Race? McManus moved from the NS14 into a 13-foot Hawke catamaran in her youth, but it was some years later before she set foot on a bigger keelboat, crewing for Ian Johnston on his Doven 30, and she has never looked back. The modest, Hobart-based sailor considers herself a relatively inexperienced offshore competitor compared to her crew mates on Twitch, and while she may not have a lot of offshore races under her belt, she is certainly building her blue water miles.
