Elyse Robin-Boulanger

Hey! My name is Elyse, I am a Canadian environmental engineer & sailor currently in Sydney Harbour. I have done a lot of regattas, usually as a bow person, and lately I have gotten more into cruising and deliveries. I have just gotten back to Australia after sailing from Newcastle to New Caledonia on a Bluewater 420, and before that I brought a J/99 back to Sydney after the Pittwater to Coffs Harbour regatta. I would love to join a boat for the race or for a delivery before or after the race! I have completed the theory for the Safety & Sea Survival course, just missing the wet drills now.

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been learning to sail over the past year to follow a passion for the sport. Currently retiring from Rugby so looking to join a crew for semi-regular racing but also happy to just go cruising.

Happy to work any position on any boat, anything that’s gets more time under sail is welcome!

Brisbane-based and have a fair flexibility with work.

Looking forward to getting in contact.
