ABOUT Mia Waters
Sailing has been a part of my life for as long as I remember, I love being on the water, whether its racing, going for a sail after school or sharing my knowledge and coaching at Esperance Bay Yacht Club on Saturday mornings. My sailing journey started in 2016, when I was 6, crewing on a Pelican and competing in the State Titles at EBYC. I developed a love for the sport and bought my first boat at age 10, and skippered my first Pelican States in 2020, aged 11. I continued to sail a Pelican until January 2025, where I then further extended my skills in the ILCA 4.7, National 125, Hobie 16, Windrush 14 and Formula 18 classes. I realised I wanted to take my sailing further, so we purchased a Nacra 15 (a high performance catamaran that is the official World Sailing youth multihull) in 2025. In April 2026, I won the 2026 Australian Nacra 15 National Championships held at Royal Motor Yacht Club, Toronto NSW. I have been selected as part of the Australian Sailing 2026 National Youth Squad and qualified for the Australian Youth Team heading to the 2026 Youth Sailing World Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal, in December 2026, in the mixed two person multihull division. I have also been selected to use a chartered Nacra 15 to compete in the Open Nacra 15 World Championships in Plymouth UK in July 2026. I have set up this page to raise funds for these two events. The funds raised will specifically cover the costs of travelling, accommodation and regatta fees.
