Miranda Merron Biography
Miranda Merron started sailing when she was 5 years old on the River Seine, south of Paris. At the age of 9 she was crewing for her father in his International 14 (the old one!), and then sailed Lasers throughout school holidays in Puerto Rico. Educated in England, she graduated from Cambridge University before going to work in Tokyo in advertising, and later in Sydney and Paris.
Having opted for a change of career, Miranda has been sailing professionally for the past 13 years, mainly in offshore racing, and has competed in solo, double-handed and fully-crewed races, including the Route du Rhum, the Transat, the Transat Jacques Vabre and the Volvo Ocean Race. In 2009, she was navigator with the all-female team on the Open 60 Aviva – the team set a new outright World Record for Round Britain & Ireland, taking 16 hours off the previous record.
