Captain
Liam Wilson

Liam grew up racing dinghies in Perth, Western Australia, introduced to the sport by his father from a young age. He excelled in various classes including Mirrors, 420s, Sabres, and Flying 15s, advancing to compete in ocean racing, match racing events, and even world championships.

Alongside his competitive career, he served as the state coach for the Mirror Association and as a club coach at the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. After initially pursuing a career in surveying and engineering within Western Australia's mining sector, Liam shifted gears in 2022. He transitioned to maritime roles, working as a skipper and instructor in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

Liam seizes every chance to hike, scuba dive and kite surf, or even get back on the slopes to go skiing as he generally just loves being active! His love for discovering new places and experiences enriches his approach, making him a knowledgeable and engaging skipper who enjoys sharing his passion for sailing and being active with others.
