Lindsay Rosen

Lindsey Rosen began sailing on her Dad’s Cal 25 on Lake Ontario during short summer visits. This first introduced her to the feeling that she still loves – partnering with the wind to glide the boat through water while under the expansive sky. Lindsey was fortunate enough to attend Culver Sailing School where she learned the basics of sailing and after that, she was introduced to dinghy racing with the University of Michigan Sailing Team. Lindsey bought a JY15 in her 20’s, a Contessa 32 in her 30’s, then had a peak sailing experience (so far!) in her 40’s – being surrounded by all three resident Puget Sound orca pods while on a family cruise around the San Juan Islands. Now in her 50’s, she is being called to race on keel boats and to get out into the open ocean. Lindsey spent some years raising a family and establishing a profession supporting others, but she is now entering the next chapter in a woman’s life: more freedom. Lindsey was deeply moved by the Maiden film and now feels like “anything is possible.” The reawakening of Maiden’s journey and her return home parallels Lindsey’s own journey. She is excited by the opportunity to sail on Maiden and she eagerly awaits the adventure with the openness of not knowing where it is leading her, but trusting it.
