The most important lesson I learnt during my time at UKSA is how important it is to constantly meet new people who are in the industry. Being at UKSA, yachting professionals are so easy to come by as they are also there to further their careers. Listening and asking for advice from the people who are currently in the industry provided me with a lot of insight into what was in store for me.
