60 seconds with Paige Caldecoat
Guest User
On Saturday we welcomed another new member, Paige Caldecoat, who showed the radial fleet how to navigate the Dardenelles.
How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
I was around 10 when I had my first sailing experience, but didn’t sail myself until I was closer to 12.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
It’s really generic but I would probably buy a Bieker moth, or maybe if we are getting really into it a Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42.
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
My ultimate sailing goal is to go to the Olympics in a laser. I’m also currently working on broadening my sailing horizons by getting into foiling and big boats.
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
My boat name is Kinky Kylie, it’s an eye catcher but it’s named after my sporting hero Sebastian Vettel’s 2011 RB7. My European boat is named Hungry Heidi after his RB9.
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
It’s a crime but I’ve never had a double bay toastie! My favourite growing up was a spaghetti toastie.
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
My other favourite hobbies include reading, and cycling.
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
Hang out on boats.
What is your next holiday destination and why?
My next holiday destination will be the Gold Coast, I have to take advantage when we go to training camps!
What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
My favourite book is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
Something interesting about me is that this will be the first year since 2017 where I will spend more than 5 months in Australia.
