Camaraderie - YachtsandYachting.com Newsletter
Dear Recipient Name
As sailors we re incredibly lucky to have two events happening on the world stage which are able to take place in the Covid world. While the America s Cup and the Vendée Globe are from near opposite ends of the yacht racing spectrum, they share common traits, and the racing is close. Most importantly of all, they have both demonstrated the camaraderie which is a core principle of most sailors lives. Sailboat racing sees as fierce competitors as any sport, but when the chips are down, sailors rise to the challenge as one.

Discussions range from immediate incidents to the nature of structures within all institutions and the opportunities provided.
Sailing has a unique challenge in many regards. Historically, it is seen as a white, wealthy sport which is difficult to break into and very expensive to progress in.
