Mara Løvenskiold // From Fencer & Bobsled Athlete to the Golden Globe Race

The rumors are true - 59º North has bought the Schooner Woodwind business in Annapolis! Andy, Mia, founder Jen Kaye & new GM Ryan Ellison share some behind-the-scenes at the top of today's show. Come help celebrate with us at Annapolis Sailboat Show, and meet today's podcast guest Mara, who will be at the show and hanging around with 59º North in tent O-8!

Mara Løvenskiold is a Norwegian athlete-turned-sailor, getting ready to start the next edition of the nonstop round-the-world Golden Globe Race in 2026. She's been a professional fencer and bobsledder and turned to sailing after a chance encounter got her on a catamaran headed around the world. After circumnavigating over three years with Sailing Ripple Effect, Mara set her sights on her next big challenge in the Golden Globe. Andy talked to her from Sweden about her career and GGR prep.
