Hello sailors,

If you were hoping to see some AC75’s flying across the water this weekend, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. The 36th America’s Cup that was supposed to kick off this weekend (6-7 March) has been postponed due to another level 3 lockdown put in place in Auckland.

As next Monday is International Women’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to share some stories about women who are smashing goals in sailing – from those just getting started, to club racers making their mark on the local scene, to the six inspirational women competing in the 20-21 edition of the Vendée Globe.

Enjoy reading the latest sailing news and stories.

Until next week, happy sailing 😊⛵
