About Amanda
The Yacht Medic is Amanda Hewson Beaver — a registered nurse, former paramedic, and rescue and retrieval nurse who has been the nearest person more times than she can count. In the outback, in refugee camps, offshore, and on the deck of a boat a long way from help.
She has been the medic on the Sydney Hobart, the Fastnet, and the Rolex 600, and has trained Olympic, Ocean Race, America's Cup, and J Class teams. She teaches what she has actually done — which is why crew remember it.
