60 Seconds With Bonnie Nixon…
Kirk Marcolina
Many of you probably haven’t heard that name before… that’s because Bonnie is one of DBSC’s newest members. Read below to find out more about this experienced sailor and make sure you say hi when you next see her at the club.
With Kiwi parents, I had no choice but to love sailing! I got in an opti at 5 years old and have sailed various classes ever since. For the last 10 years, I have been enjoying sailing a Melges 24, competing both here and in the USA with my family. Your lovely club member, Christine Lindhart, was an excellent crew for us for a few years there including winning a USA corinitian national title! It's a bit too hard to take a Melges out by myself and I want to improve my skippering so I thought I would jump back into a radial after 14 years. I am a bit nervous but excited to join a club that has such a large laser fleet and is so supportive of women sailing.
