The Women's World Match-Racing Tour points to an electrified women's elite pathway...
Everywhere you look, women’s sport is on the up. It’s about time too. In sailing, the sport is blessed with iconic figures leading towards a bright, sustainable, fascinating future. Take the likes of Hattie Rogers, winning the women’s Moth World title this year and duking it admirably with the men. Inspirational. Take Hannah Mills, the wind whisperer and layline caller par excellence of SailGP. Take Emma Wilson, back from a torrid Paris Olympics and leading the way (again) in the iQFoil or Ellie Aldridge - pure box-office gold. Take Cole Brauer and Elizabeth ‘ZaZa’ Tucker doing their inspirational thing offshore. Take Justine Mettraux, Sam Davies, Pip Hare, Isabelle Joschke, Clarisse Crémer et al in the Vendee. Total legends and these are just the tip of a very large iceberg.
