Meet the team

Abbey Stroud
Chairperson

Growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada, sailing was part of both my childhood and the maritime heritage of my community. After graduating from Mount Allison University, I had the privilege of working as a deckhand aboard Bluenose II, which was an experience that ignited my passion for sail training. Through sail training, I’ve been given extraordinary opportunities that have carried me far beyond the shores where I was raised. These experiences have shaped not only my skills on the water, but also my perspective as a leader. As Chairperson of the Sail Training International Youth Council, my goal is to ensure that young people remain visible, valued, and influential within the sail training community, while leading initiatives that will help shape a strong and inclusive future for us all.
