Ilian Halbertsma
Ilian Halbertsma is a former sailing student and volunteer at SGB, and this is his second year as a CANSail 3/4 coach.
He has had a lot of sailing experience in the Caribbean where he lived, and has been sailing since he was seven years old. He has races primarily in optimists, but has also sailed in RS Visions, Lasers, and 420s.
Other than sailing, he loves theatre, skiing, music, and travelling. He is very excited for this year’s sailing season, and being able to coach this summer.
