Muscling in on America’s Cup challenge
Susie MacGillivray, a physiotherapist (at left), is a keen yachtswoman and one of only five members of the BNZ Challenge team for the America’s Cup held in February, 1987. She has already worked as the physiotherapist for the Ponsonby rugby league team so the thought of working over the tired muscles and ligaments of 32 yachtsmen does not worry her. After she graduated from Otago University physiotherapist course in 1975 she moved to Auckland and began to take an active interest in yachting, sailing in a variety of different boats before thinking seriously of applying to join the crew in the America’s Cup yacht challenge. When she looks beyond the America’s Cup she hopes to develop the physiotherapy practice she shares with a registered doctor in Auckland. As well as physiotherapy, they hold pre and postnatal classes and are starting to develop something of a health clinic. In the meantime, she says, she can’t wait to get there and win the cup.
