New Zealand sailing coach Rosie Chapman (R) gives advice to Laser Radial sailor Sophia Morgan out on Auckland s harbour.
Rosie Chapman is succeeding in her mission to get more Kiwi girls sailing, she tells Suzanne McFadden, in the first of a series on female coaches and leaders making a difference in high performance sport. It’s fitting that one of Rosie Chapman’s first boats was a dinghy called Trial and Error. She admits that’s exactly the path she took early in her sailing journey. She obviously got it right, going on to sail for Great Britain in the women’s 470, and now coaching the top Kiwi yachtswomen in the Laser Radial class.
