Inspiration with Manda J: Champion Sailor
Season 1, Episode 274, Nov 23, 2020, 12:00 PM
Emma has come from a competitive sports background, where she has mostly had a position of responsibility and leadership on various round the world racing campaigns as well as captaining many other sports teams:
International Yacht Racing circuit
4 x Around the World Races (Volvo/ Whitbread), including one non-stop record (Jules Verne Challenge) attempt (1998 – 2005)
Tour of Arabia with Oman Sail mentoring 4 local Omani women, working alongside other notable female sailors (2012)
Regular racing to the present day on a Maxi Yacht in the Mediterranean and Caribbean
The Sailing achievements were in an era of limited female participation at this level, the achievements, commended by fellow male sailors, have pioneered the way forwards for women today. The non-stop record attempt at the Jules Verne 1998, onboard the 90′ maxi catamaran “Royal and SunAlliance” with Tracy Edwards – had never been done before and never been attempted since – in fact, not many men have attempted this record.
