Episode #166: Holly and Katie Scott on Creating a Tribe of Women Sailors

This week were joined by Holly and Katie Scott, to chat with Good Jibes host Ryan Foland about creating group sailing memories to last a lifetime. Holly and Katie are the mother-daughter team behind Mahalo Sailing Adventures, an international sailing company that provides woman-run adventures. Their business is a culmination of a lifetime of travel, sailing, and adventure.

Hear how sailing has changed their lives, their most memorable sailing adventures and deliveries, the thousands of women or “seasters” who have become part of their sailing tribe, how to make the most of it when things go wrong, and the times where nice language wasn’t always used.
