They didn't know it was impossible, so they did it.
About the slogan
With „This Race is Female“, I ’ve created a solgan with the overall aim to empower women to overcome obstacles and master any challenges they might be facing.
I am always trying to be that woman!
Mission
Through "This Race is Female," I demonstrate that extraordinary courage and ambition transcend gender - inspiring women globally to challenge limitations and pursue their visions with conviction, while honoring both community and planet.
Motivation
In sailing, a sport, where women don’t necessarily have a disadvantage.
I strive to empower and inspire on this exciting journey and instill a message of strength, resilience and confidence
EMBRACING DIVERSITY
It’s very important to me to make women more visible in areas that are usually led by men, like sailing.
When I started offshore sailing four years ago, I found myself in a male-dominated world.
I want to share my experiences so that other women feel encouraged to follow their own path.
This doesn’t mean I want to exclude men from my project.
I am very focused and work with clear goals.
I believe that mixed teams are strongest because they bring together different perspectives.
But to create real equal opportunities, we need to push women until they are fully included in society.
Diversity isn't a box to check. It's a power to unlock.
WOMEN NEED MORE VISIBILITY
Women need more visibility: In sailing, in competitive sports - in all areas.
Why? Simply to show what is possible and to break with stereotypes. To create new pathways for women to build a more diverse future.
WOMEN NEED ROLEMODELS
You can’t dream of what you can’t see.
Role models inspire and show what’s possible.
For women, this is especially important — they need to have the self- confidence that their dreams are within their reach.
EQUAL CHANCES AND RECOGNITION OF WOMEN
Female sailors don’t want special treatment but they want equal chances.
They sail the same boats and do the same job — and they do it really well.
Specially offshore, they can truly prove themselves- because long races are about willpower, courage, adventure, and a strong mind.
But we need equal chances to play our talent.
Please help me spread the message.
It's for a good cause!
