As a team they have a combined 12 years experience competing for their country on the world stage and both have Sail Canada Awards – Mariah having won the Marvin McDill Rookie of the Year Award and Ali received the Bill Burke Award for youth Elite sailors.

Ali also campaigned for the 2016 Games in the 470 with Ali Surette, qualifying Canada for the Olympics but the program elected not to send them. The team talked about ovearcoming nerves, the tight competition with the Lewin-Lafrance sisters, and their motto: “Make friends, have fun, sail fast!”
