Wednesday 18 December 2024 marked the second annual Women in Sailing night in the Sydney Race Village.

Rolex Sydney Hobart and SailGP commentator Lisa Darmanin hosted a panel of Clare Costanzo, the Navigator onboard Whisper, Stacey Jackson, professional ocean racer competing in the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart onboard Oroton Drumfire, and mother-daughter co-skippers Annette Hesselmans and Sophie Snijders sailing on Fika.

The evening celebrated women in all aspects of the sport, encouraging other women sailors to say yes to any opportunities and build their sailing certifications & experience.

Thank you to the panellists and attendees who made the evening so wonderful.

Best of luck to all the women competing in the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
