Designer and boat builder Murielle Ovenden was born in Brittany, in Brest, with that genetic particularity that gives her a natural call to the sea. She is a dreamer, passionate, and takes interest in everything.

In the team, she is the creative mind with a mix of technological and artistic sense. She is not afraid of hard work and needs to keep her hands busy; to create. Murielle did her schooling in mechanical engineering technologies; learning to design and fabricate. Of course this background has provided her assets and confidence in this boat building adventure.

Mimi Jane was launched in June 2022 and is currently sailing the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario as a private vessel.  To learn more about the vessel, the build journey and the crew, visit their website.
