    Wanderlust women

    It used to be the case that men set the sails, and women provided a safe harbour. There was perhaps a certain harmony and balance to this age-old idea, but in recent years, in sailing as in life, women are downstairs at the nav station and up on deck, at the helm. We're well accustomed to seeing women chart a course to success. Now they're often bravely leading crews as part of the resident “brains trust”. Nowhere did this play out more strongly than in the 2023 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. Aboard the Reichel Pugh Maxi 72 URM Group (Anthony Johnston) which took the Peter Rysdyk Memorial Trophy as Overall winner was sporting an all-male crew, except for their navigator Alice Tarnawski.

    Two’s a Crowd

    It’s not every sport, in which a father and son can compete against one another for trophies and prizes. Yet in the Henry family, where saltwater runs in the veins, there’s every chance you will catch these gents out on the ocean, racing each other. A family, with a near spiritual connection to nature, the ocean was built for people like the Henrys. They love all the weird and wild things it chucks at them.
