It is no coincidence that of the the three or four people Cathy was charged with specifically mentoring, three of us are now Olympic Gold medallists. Cathy taught us not only to train in a professional, analytical way but also to believe in our potential.  She took us in three years from the edge of the top ten in Britain to top three in the world, something that normally takes the lucky/talented ones ten years of stumbling up the pecking order; her contribution was thoughtful and nimble and is an important part (too often overlooked) part of Britain's sailing success.
