Opening the door for women in sailing
Working in partnership with The Magenta Project, Lisa, the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica, skippered the first female Sydney to Hobart team in 16 years, racing the 2017 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
Climate Action Now raced with eight crew: four experienced sailors, each partnered with an emerging sailor, creating a unique opportunity to mentor young women in the sailing industry, while sharing Lisa's message of Climate Action Now.
The Magenta Project
The Magenta Project accelerates women in sailing and the marine industry by creating pathways, empowering leadership and driving change in the sport.
About the race
The Rolex Sydney Hobart is a 628-nautical-mile ocean race, described as one of the most gruelling in the world. It starts in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day, charges out through the Heads and south into the Roaring Forties, and finishes in Hobart.
Next: the Arctic
In June 2028 Lisa sets out to become the first person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the Arctic Circle.
