Kath Moore

Kath Moore is from Newcastle, Australia. She spent five years in Sydney studying and then working as a physiotherapist. Her first sailing experience was in 2004 aboard the training brigantine “Young Endeavour.” It was only five days - but Kath was hooked. Working in a hospital for a year inspired Kath to do something a little more exciting, and so she found another brigantine, the 88 foot “Windward Bound” in Hobart, Tasmania.

Leaving her old life behind, Kath lived and worked as a Watch Leader on Windy for seven months, learning lots and meeting great people, including the Maggie B crew!

Kath loves dancing, lollies and seven-year-old jeans. She hates pepsicum, dirty toothpaste lids and plovers, pigeons and ibis.

Kath will have to leave the Schooner Maggie B in December for her work in Australia with Women’s Junior Cricket, her brother’s wedding, and her partner, Shannon, who writes songs about Kath, some of which she won’t let us hear.

She will return to the High Seas at some stage - “’Tis a pirate’s life for me!’
