When I met Kylie Forth, it touched my heart.
(It is only before sailing)
Kylie Forth is one of famous sailor in Australia. Also she is the member of Royal Perth Yacht Club. Her male friend said she is attractive and he got power from her. Kylie lost her sight at aged 3 and her right leg at aged 9 by cancer.
“I’ve been skydiving and all sorts of random things but when I discovered sailing, I found my passion,” she said.
It is same of me. I tried most things on my life and sailing is my passion.
Kylie and I love feeling the winds on the water.

Happy to be lost at see by Kate Ferguson (The West Australian)
Kylie’s the skipper of her blind sailing team by Vision Australia
She usually goes to sail race on Wednesday afternoon and her team, Lost at see, practices on Sunday morning.
I went to the Royal Perth Yacht Club on Wednesday afternoon.
My first impression of her is ‘laughing’, she always laughs that gives me peace of mind. Perhaps, she would know I was nervous so she laughed for me.
Whereas I’m impressed by her environment that all of sailors at the yacht club love her as well as they are happy to help.
Kylie organises Facebook page, Lost at See.
You can see what they did and what they will.
In the near future, I would like to take photos again on Sunday morning.
盲目のセイラー、ケイリー・フォース。彼女は3歳の頃に網膜の癌によって視界を視界を失い、9歳で再発した癌により右足をも失った。
想像できるだろうか。暗闇の世界で片足をも失う事を。
一番古い記憶はすでに盲目からだった。とケイリーは言う。盲目とゆうのは彼女の中では’普通の事’に過ぎないのかもしれない。
彼女は様々な事に挑戦し、ヨットに出会った。
ヨットこそが彼女のパッションだと言い、風が、スピードを感じるのが好きだと言う。
毎週水曜日、ケイリーはレースに出る。 毎週日曜日、彼女のチームは練習に出る。
とある水曜日、私はロヤルパースヨットクラブへと向い、彼女に会う事ができた。
ケイリーの第一印象は’よく笑う明るい女の子’。
そして、ここにいるすべての人が彼女が好きだという事。クラブハウスは優しさで溢れてた。
人は脆くて弱い。では、彼女の強さとはどこから来るのか。
それは周りから来るのではないでしょうか。
