An incredible night with Annette and Sophie from Fika as they geared up to set sail for Osaka. When asked about their biggest takeaway from the last race, Annette summed it up perfectly: "It’s a very long way to Japan in a very small boat."

Confident in their skills, they paid tribute to the support their partners, Gerry and Simon, provided—helping with preparations, offering inspiration, and cheering them on as they achieve each sailing goal. An inspiration to us all to get out there, get a boat and get sailing. To a packed room, it was great to hear from these two great women before they departed on Monday 17th March, once again in a very small boat. Thankyou to RBYC and Ocean Racing Club of Victoria Inc. (ORCV) for hosting these two amazing women. Photo copyright John Dynan
