Rebecca Hancock started sailing when she was 11 years old after watching her older brother Stephen sail every Sunday. One year later she found herself sailing with him in the NSW youth sailing team, in which they continued to compete together for two years. Now, Rebecca finds herself representing Australia internationally and looking to build on her success. If Rebecca is not on the water training, she will generally be in the gym or studying. She is currently studying exercise physiology at UNSW and working part time as a sailing coach at her own grass roots sailing club. She has always been very committed to sailing, becoming 2019 Nacra 15 Youth World Champion at only 17 years old whilst completing her HSC.
