60 Seconds With Kerryn Smith

1. How old were you when you first stepped on a boat? About 3 years old, on Moreton Bay.

2. If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy? Swan 65.

3. What is your ultimate sailing goal? To compete successfully, and master as many skills as I can while I can.

4. Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser? My two kids used to argue about who was the favoured child, so 'Favourite Child III' seemed like a good boat name.

5. If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be? You can't improve on perfection .

6. What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)? Travel and reading - not done much of the former in 12 months so spent more time on the latter.

7. Describe what you do for work in less than five words? Financial Markets lawyer.

8. What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why? Hopefully Italy but more likely somewhere closer in East Asia or Hawaii.

10. Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know? Discovered dinghy sailing late in life, grew up ocean racing and doing short courses on yachts - which was not conducive to family life.
