Not knowing much about boats might not be ideal when taking on the role of the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop around the world, but Teagan Croft took it all in her stride while preparing to play Jessica Watson for the Netflix film, True Spirit. “I had never sailed before in my life,” the 18-year-old reveals to WHO. “My sailing coach made miracles happen! Oh god, I loved it!”
Despite the lack of sailing know-how, Croft could, back in 2018. And now with her first leading role in a feature film under her belt, Croft is ready for the next challenge. “The world is my oyster at this point,” she exclaims.
