- Biography
- Grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, then spent 5 years in DC before moving to the San Francisco area. I'm a single woman and bought a 38-ft sloop in January 2013. Named her Kynntana, which was my mother's stage name (she was an acrobat and trapeze artist). The name means 'star' in Malagasy. I did the Singlehanded TransPacific race in 2018 and then a fully crewed Pacific Cup in 2021. I also have a Newport 20 (another Gary Mull design) that is mostly used for day sailing/racing in the Oakland Estuary. Racing is fun but I enjoy the adventure more than trying to get somewhere fast. My plan for retirement is to cruise the world with no plan at all.
