Standing Before the Mast

The Standing Before the Mast podcast with Chris Heaton features conversations with people in the boating and sailing community. In this episode, guest host Joe Cooper profiles three young women advancing in professional offshore sailing: Erica Lush (lushsailing.com); Aurora ‘Rory’ Meunier Mott; and Ellie Menezes.

Cooper leads the panel as they describe their journey thus far, and their plans for participation in future professional sailing events on the world stage. All have either been inspired by Cole Brauer, or actually mentored by her.

Learn where each of them is currently in their professional careers, and the different paths they are each taking. Also hear about opportunities they’ve discovered, as well as challenges and obstacles they have encountered.
