My guest today on Island Influencers is Jen Kneale. Jen is a highly experienced dinghy and keelboat racer, with a proven track record as a GBR Laser sailor and now as a Race Coach. She holds an honours degree in Maritime Leisure Management and has over 20 years of experience as an RYA Instructor. In 2017, Jen crossed the Atlantic, teaching herself celestial navigation along the way. After sitting an exam in Antigua, Jen gained the RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualification. She is also a Powerboat Instructor and Yachtmaster Instructor (sail) and the first Manx female coxswain with the RNLI spending 15 years with Port St Mary Lifeboat. Presently working as Activities Manager at Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands during this winter season, her normal day job is as entrepreneur and business owner of the very successful 7th Wave sailing school in Port Erin. Here's my conversation with Jen Kneale in episode 9 of Island Influencers.

Island Influencer Jen Kneale

Jen Kneale has an affinity with the sea that stems from a lifetime spent on the ocean. It’s no exaggeration to say that a love of the sea runs in her veins: like her father and grandfather before her she is now a coxswain - or captain - of the lifeboat on the Isle of Man. Jen was the first female coxswain in the island - the original home of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution - and only the 4th nationwide. Jen is also a successful businesswoman, having set up her own sailing school at the age of 25, a coach and an international sailor, representing Great Britain in the Laser class. She runs an annual This Girl Can sailing weekend aimed at getting women and girls to try sailing, and is passionate about continuing to increase opportunities across the lifeboats and beyond. In 2017, on her second crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, Jen taught herself celestial navigation, the art and science of navigating via the sun, the moon and the stars, as they did in the days of Captain Cook and Christopher Columbus. She is certainly a woman of many talents…Where to find Jen and the RNLI:Jen's website - http://www.7thwave-iom.com/activities-courses/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/7thwaveiom/ RNLI website - https://rnli.org RNLI Twitter - https://twitter.com/RNLIRNLI YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/officialrnli RNLI Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnli/ Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theskylarkcollectiveTwitter: https://twitter.com/naomiemellorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-mellor-171550150/
