SPEAKING
If you’re looking for an engaging and motivational speaker for your next event, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. I can present a wide range of inspiring offshore and inshore sailing adventures as well as share tips on sailing teamwork, provisioning, fitness, and more.

Motivational & Keynote Speaker
I have always enjoyed public speaking. Drawing parallels between the world of elite sport and other walks of life is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I have experience speaking to school groups, at sports presentation evenings, delivering motivational keynote speeches and giving sailing club talks. My talks are as informative as they are entertaining and will leave your audience inspired to aim high and make their dreams a reality. Previous topics include International Women’s Day, Olympic Sailing and Volvo Ocean Race adventures.
Sailing Presenter & Commentator
Whether you need someone to present your sailing ‘how to’ guide, introduce a new marine product, compare different sailing yachts, or demonstrate a sailing fitness programme, I can help. I am a regular presenter of the Dinghy Racing Channel, host of the RYA Dinghy Show from 2021-2023 and have been involved with several live social media campaigns. I also have lots of experience interviewing other sailors and sports professionals as well as creating engaging video content for marine clients and engaging a non-sailing audience.
“Hannah speaks passionately when presenting and is able to draw the audience in from so many different avenues. Hannah is able to resonate with each and every member of an audience, no matter their age, background (and even online or in person). Hannah takes the audience through her journey in such detail and in the most clear and personable way, and her presentation style enables those with no understanding of the sport through to professionals to get the same level of engagement from it, a very difficult task. We are very proud to have Hannah as an Ambassador for the Mintridge Foundation as she is the greatest advocate for sailing.”
Alex Wallace, Founder The Mintridge Foundation
‘‘Hannah is an engaging speaker with fascinating stories to tell. It has been great to see the effect her words have had on the sailors. Part of that is certainly due to her humility and down to earth delivery. If you want to hear inspiring stories which leave you thinking about them long after the evening, you won’t be disappointed.’’
Niall Myant, Head Coach British Keelboat Academy & Sailing Commentator
‘‘Hannah has the perfect combination of Sailing knowledge and engaging relatable personality on camera, she’s polite, professional and always finds a way of making complex topics easy and understandable to the audience’’
James Eaves, RYA Video Manager
