Setting Challenges

Fairly early in Natasha’s sailing career she started looking for ways to challenge herself, to push her abilities, to see what she could achieve. Every year since 2012 has seen a new challenge. These challenges have also been a way for Natasha to give something back, by raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity. We’ve created a page for each challenge so you can read a bit more about each of them.
