FAMILY AFFAIR
In September 2010, she became the final part of the match racing puzzle when she stepped up from training partner to join older sister Lucy and Annie Lush as bow for the 2010 Match Racing World Championships in Rhode Island, United States. The trio secured gold in the competition and it inspired her to take a gap year from university in 2011-12 to join the team fulltime. "When I was invited to join Lucy's crew there was no way I could say no," she said. Sister Lucy said Kate's place in the crew was well-earned. "It wasn't anything to do with the fact that she was my sister," Lucy said. "Trying to find a third person to fit within the team was quite hard. Kate fitted into that role really well and although we were trialling quite a few people she was the best one in the bunch."

FAMILY FIRST
At the 2012 London Olympic Games she and older sister Lucy will become the first sisters to compete together in sailing for Great Britain at an Olympic Games. She admitted that when they sailed together as kids they would argue a lot but that has turned into respect and a deep-rooted desire to help Lucy achieve her lifetime ambition. "We definitely got all the fighting out of the way when we were younger," she said. "We have grown up and sailed with a lot of different people since our argumentative days, so we are a pretty chilled out boat."

She once missed her toe straps during practice before an event and got towed behind the boat
with the jib sheets around her ankle, something she said was the most embarrassing moment in her sailing career. (rya.co.uk, 21 Feb 2012)
