That includes leading her team to a victorious 2nd place in the Clipper Round the World Race, just two days after her 25th birthday. She then sailed halfway around the world again, this time skippering the infamous Maiden throught the pirate infested waters of East Africa on the first leg of her world tour. You might have seen her on Sailing La Vagabonde’s Youtube Channel, where she supported the couple on their unseasonal Atlantic Crossing to deliver young Greta Thunberg to the climate conference in Europe. Or maybe you followed her on one of her numerous other ocean adventures: 12 Atlantic crossings, a Sydney Hobart, three RORC Caribbean 600 races, 2 Rolex Fastnet races and even 2 entries  into the Race-to-Alaska’ races, one of which she won. Nikki is a passionate teacher, inspiring leader, motivating speaker and head turning author. She often hosts episodes of On the Wind with 59 North. You can enjoy her regular column in Yachting World in which she steers the hearts and minds of the sailing community. Stay tuned for her upcoming debut book. Be sure to check out Nikki’s most recent project: SALTED: her new ‘learn to sail’ subscriber platform which she describes as: “An unpretentious, upbeat community inspired by sailing. A newsletter that will empower you, and educate you, to think differently about not just how to sail, but also how to live your life.”\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div_2][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”70″ ][cs_element_image _id=”71″ ][cs_element_text _id=”72″ ][cs_content_seo]CREDIT: 59 NORTH\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div_2][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”73″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”74″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”75″ ][cs_element_raw_content _id=”76″ ][cs_content_seo]\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”77″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”78″ ][cs_content_seo]ONLINE CLASS REGISTRATION\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_layout_div _id=”79″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”80″ ][cs_content_seo]ThursDAY, APRIL 24TH, 2025 @ 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET (90 MIN)\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div][cs_element_layout_div _id=”81″ ][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”82″ ][cs_element_text _id=”83″ ][cs_content_seo]Regular Price\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”84″ ][cs_content_seo]$39\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div_2][cs_element_layout_div_2 _id=”85″ ][cs_element_text _id=”86″ ][cs_content_seo]ASA Member Price\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”87″ ][cs_content_seo]$29\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_div_2][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”88″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”89″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”90″ ][cs_content_seo]ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”91″ ][cs_content_seo]All registrations include unlimited on-demand access to the recordings of the live online class.
