Hey, I’m Maria Säilä, a 23-year-old sailor from Turku, Finland. I’m in my third year at the University of Turku, studying medical technology and health technology.
I’ve been sailing for about ten years, mostly around the Turku Archipelago with my family and friends. It’s something I’m really passionate about, and I’m always looking to improve my skills. I’ve completed the Archipelago Skipper course and am currently working on my Coastal Skipper and CEVNI certifications.
When I’m not out on the water, I like to stay active with CrossFit and golf. CrossFit keeps me strong and energized, while golf is a nice way to unwind and challenge myself in a different way.
