This is what’s called having sea legs: Samantha Davies learned to walk on her parents' boat. It must be said that the British yachtswoman was born into a family that has always had a visceral connection with the ocean. Combining solidarity and performance, she is keen to collect donations for underprivileged children with heart defects.
