We have always known that women in sailing have the skill, the grit, and the brilliance to conquer the water on their own. And behind every athlete forging forward is a constellation of forces moving with her. This International Women's Day, we honor that independent spirit and the community that fuels it. To the crews who amplify the dreams and share in the wins, we move because you do.
“The race isn’t over until it’s over. And believing in someone can be the thing that carries them further than they ever imagined.”
“Representation is everything. You have to see it to believe you can be it.”
“My brother competes, and for a while I was just ‘the sister’. But it was more of a motivation to prove I can make my own name, that I’m not only the little sister. I won my first title when I was 15, and he was there. He always is.”
