Sailing for as long as she can remember, going out and crewing for her mother in her Hurricane at the early age of 6. She started sailing oppy’s when only 10 years of age followed by laser 4.7’s, mirrors and toppers before moving into the Laser Radial, the olympic woman’s single handed dinghy. She has been sailing a Radial since 2005. Annalise is currently sailing full-time in preparation for the 2012 Olympics in London. She finished 8th at the 2009 World Championship and since then hasn't looked back. She finished the 2010 season with a top 10 finish at Skandia Sail for Gold regatta and winning the Irish National Championships...the first girl to do so!
