At just 13 years old, Brooke, a rising sailing star from The King Alfred School Academy, in Highbridge, Somerset is taking the competitive sailing world by storm.
Having only started sailing a year ago in single-handed Topper boats, she has already qualified for the Topper World Championships 2025, where she will represent Team GB in the Netherlands from July 19th-25th.
Immediately after, she will travel to Largs, Scotland, to compete in the Topper National Championships.
Brooke was first introduced to sailing through the Sea Cadets and quickly "fell in love with the sport."
She joined the ITCA circuit, competing in the Southwest Travellers series, where she finished the season in an impressive second place overall and was also the first girl in the national 4.2 fleet.
In 2024, Brooke secured a sponsorship deal with Allen Sailing, a major achievement at her young age.
She has enjoyed working with them at various events, including the prestigious RYA Dinghy Boat Show. Competing against sailors as old as 18, she has proven her skill and determination, often braving extreme conditions.
With her sights set on the upcoming championships, Brooke’s journey is an inspiration to young sailors everywhere, proving that talent, perseverance, and passion can take you far.
