Hi, my name is Audrey Staples. I am the 29er coach for the last 3 years. I sailed the 29er and the 49er FX prior to coaching. Super excited to be coaching this team for another year!

Hi I’m Marek! I’ve been coaching at the Royal for 3 years now and have since earned my Competition Development national coaching certification. On the forefront of new technologies, I use tracking software and drone footage to help athletes improve. 

Hey, my name is Nick. I have been sailing at the Royal since the age of 5 and have been competing since the age of 10. I have been on the Opti, 420, 29er and ILCA teams. I have a great deal of international experience mainly focused in the ILCA. I have a great passion for the sport and want to transmit it to everyone I can.

Hey, I’m Lucas! I’ve been sailing at the Royal since I was six years old and raced here for four years. Since 2023, I’ve been teaching the sport I love., starting with the junior sailing program, and now coaching the very race team program that shaped me as a sailor. My goal is to help athletes develop strong sailing skills, and most importantly, grow their passion for racing.
