Hi my name is Anna, I've been sailing since I was 9 years old in a range of classes, such as the optimist, 420, 49er FX and now the IQ Windfoil.

When I'm not sailing, I am studying a bachelor of arts at Monash University as well as coaching and running the Sailing Training Centre at Royal Brighton Yacht Club.

My achievements to date include representing Australia internationally in the optimist class on numerous occasions. Holding the 2020 female 420 national title, and becoming a scholarship athlete at the Victorian Institute of Sport. As well as being part of the Australian Sailing Futures Team in the 49er FX class.

Mid-2023 I began learning how to sail the IQ wind foiling class and I am incredibly excited to be sailing in such a challenging and fast-growing class. My ultimate dream is to represent Australia at the 2028/2032 Olympics, and I am prepared to put in the work needed to achieve this goal. However, the international experience needed to reach this goal will come with financial challenges, so any support will be very much appreciated and will help me pursue this goal full-time. In 2024 I will be heading over to Lake Garda in August to attend the IQ under-23 World Championships, you can follow my progress on facebook at @annacripseysailing
