Women's Performance Program

SailGP introduced the recently renamed SailGP Women’s Performance Program in 2021 to accelerate the training and development of female athletes. Since then, SailGP has seen female athletes on every F50 in all races and recently kicked off the 2025 Season with the first female driver on the start line, Mubadala Brazil's Martine Grael. SailGP's ambition is to have two female athletes per race crew in key positions by 2030.
