Hello sailors,
I was excited to hear that the first all-female double-handed entry has been made for the 2021 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
The inaugural two-handed division entries were supposed to race in the 2020 event, but with the cancellation of that race due to a COVID-19 outbreak, 2021 will see the two-handed division make its debut.
Enjoy reading about this and more sail racing news and stories from around the web below.
Until next week, happy sailing 😊⛵
