Meet the Women Making Waves

Musto has partnered up with World Sailing TV to create a welcome and exciting documentary series on women in sailing. It’s fittingly been titled Evening the Keel, as has created a space for pro female sailors to come together to talk equality in sailing, motherhood, and how to navigate through, and triumph in, this male dominated sport.

This 4-part series, narrated by none other than Tracy Edwards MBE, spotlights women in off-shore sailing, the gendered challenges they face, and diversity within the teams. In Tracy, and these female heroes, namely, Clarisse Crémer, Pamala Lee, Sam Davies, Francesca Clapcich, and Rosalin Kuiper, we see women at the top their game navigating their way to success, as they continue to inspire the deconstruction of inequality in all it’s forms.

With the recent triumph by Marie Tabarly in the Ocean Globe, and Maiden’s outstanding success, It seems this couldn’t have arrived at a better time!
