Powered by Women
This is a fantastic SailGP event welcoming the women who power SailGP behind the scenes… including the Director of On Water Operations, our own Liz Shaw to RNSYS.
It’s a kick off to SailGP, but it's also a chance for Squadron members to welcome the women who make SailGP happen onto their boats for a night, and for us to show them some East Coast hospitality.
All of the prizes for the night are being provided by SailGP.
We need a variety of boats – from serious racers to those who are just happy to go out and enjoy a leisurely tour around the marks.
Stay after the race and enjoy live music by Merimac.
