Last Friday, International Women's Day was celebrated in our sport by World Sailing. Here is their tribute.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, March 15, 2024.

Four bullets from nine races was enough to secure Team Nika victory in the 44Cup Calero Marinas, opening event of the 2024 44Cup.
All four days of racing in the Canary Islands were in maximum conditions for the high performance owner-driver one design – in fact no one can remember an event requiring their smallest headsail, the J3, to be used in every race. Even for the final day (forecast to be the lightest), teams were still subjected to gusts into the high 20s blowing from the north, over Lanzarote’s barren lunar landscape.

Usually at this point we ask that to help us please Subscribe to our channel but after weekly uploads every week for 14 years the Gen Zees at YouTube have demonetised our channel. 12 hundred videos and on YoutUbe for 17 years we are a professional Sailing accredited media company. Whilst a nimority sport, Sailing on their social media does not return enough to even pay for our weekly groceries. So if you would like to support us we have an old Patreon page for "World on Water' or you can send support to our Pay-Pal email, which is listed below. Thank you. Yes we are appealing.
