Celebrating Women in Boatbuilding

Belinda Joslin's childhood was painted with hues of nautical wonder. Her father's seafaring spirit infused her world with the rhythm of the waves. From the young age, Belinda was captivated by the allure of boats and immersed in the sailing community, owning her first boat at the age of 10. From that moment, her passion for sailing blossomed, and she became consumed by it. Nothing else could compare to the thrill and joy she experienced on the water.
