Holandská jachtárka narodená na Novom Zélande v roku 1995 počas 7 rokov trvajúcej plavby jej rodičov ( mama je nemka, otec dán ). Laura prvých 5 rokov života strávila na mori. Po návrate do Holandska žila s otcom. Svoju prvú plachetnicu Optimist dostala k 6tim narodeninám a veľmi rýchlo sa naučila sólo plavbe. Na 8me narodeniny dostala knihu Maiden Voyage o plavbe okolo sveta jachtárky Tania Aebi . V roku 2007 podnikla sama ambiciózny 6 týždňový výlet na Wadden Sea v spoločnosti svojho psa. Leto 2008 strávila na plavne okolo Holandska na svojej novej plachetnici Hurley 700, ktorú si kúpila s pomocou pôžičky od otca.

V roku 2009 sa rozhodla počas12 denných školských prázdin podniknúť sólo výlet do Anglicka a preplaviť obávaný English Channel.Vyplávala 1. mája. Pre slabý vietor musela pristáť v anglickom Lowestoft, kde ju zadržali a požadovali jej otca , aby ju doprevádzal na plavbe domov. On však odpovedal, že sa vie vrátiť aj sama. Úrady teda mladú holanďanku umiestnili do detského domova :), kam po ňu priletel z Holandska otec a odviezol ju naspať na loď. 11. mája vyplávala z Anglicka. Laura sa v silnom vetre pomerne rýchlo vrátila do Holandska a 12 mája pristála v Rotterdame.

V roku 2019 ( 14 r.) zverejnila úmysel oboplávať zemeguľu novinárom. Na tento účasl si zadovážila 12 metrovú 2 sťažňovú plachetnicu Jeanneau Ginn Fizz ( Guppy ). Loď bola vybavená na long distance sailing a upravená na sólo navigáciu. Jej úmysel vyplávať spriečili v roku 2019 holandské úrady. Plavbu začala v auguste 2010 , spoločne s otcom preplavili loď z Holandska do Portugalska a sólo plavbu začala tajne z Gibraltaru ( britské urady by štart nepovolili kvoli veku) .
Hoci sa predpokladalo, že nebude na mori viac než 3 týždne non stop bez zastávky, nakoniec sa vyhla niektorým bodom dohodnutým na pristátie a plavila sa na niektorýych úsekoch aj 2 x po 7 týždňov nez pristátia. Jej rodina ju navštívila počas plavby 2 krát. Kedže mala namontovaný Iridiou tracking system, bolo možne ju sledovať jej plavbu. Laura písala týždenné reporty z plavby pre holandské noviny. Svoju 528 dní trvajúcu plavbu absolvovala na úspečne dokončila. V dobe vyplávania mala iba 16 rokov, čím sa zapíslal do dejín jachtingu ako najmladšia jachtárka vôbec. V roku 2013 bol zverejnený 80 min. film z plavby, ktorý nasnímala z najvačšej časti sama, Film režíroval Jillian Schlesinger a jeho názov je MAIDENTRIP.
