when i joined the company a year and a half ago those women would just starting to do some racing and it was just a one off opportunity but then they did so well. the idea was such a good one that it was decided we should we should let them continue they enjoyed it. it's hard work but they seem to like that. having. this point here we.

want. constantly been my theme been my camp the so mad about the subby about that about. a man who'd been out to look on and ok and get any ice that minute my. brain was just identified by. nick in detail. as the there but there had been a feeble number. i mean the staffing was so at the. general williamson within a week and so on and but. i would have. been i was just sort of bouncing back in that i thought us. feel left about all sorts. of and i was i thought.

i was what. i was a book and nothing just i mean just my own work i'm done with it then the has a fox i was in a can and a and sleep would. have been a part of the live had i would let. the young women had to pass an initial training stage in order to be accepted at home and say. thank you. i cannot. understand what had come to look. thank. god doesn't agree why we got on with the guy getting over there and why every day when you get. there with a wife you got

a good fantasy. with. a smile and you think and wife and i don't worry honey. and local t.v. . and hand can watch a video right now and. you. could see more typical laughter that was on most of us in march we were like that so the way it's going from the high forwards of our. sharon is says progress out at sea was unfortunately affected by an untimely illness. but the company offered her a job on dry land in the education center now she teaches young children about the

sea and tries to inspire other young armani's to get involved in sailing. i think it would be. better. than as. a man has over three thousand kilometers of coastline and so has always had a close relationship with the seat and not just through fishing. goes back centuries before the common era and the ground stretched along the coast beyond the strait of hormuz that separates from.

then wish them and they did. that have. he. thought would be you. know our money in the. other get. the way in which gulf countries to change is a question they wrestle with on an almost daily basis how to maintain traditions in the face of rapid growth and miners station and how to balance local values with outside influences. different countries

both. you can still you can still be. good i'm only a woman and also a very talented so going off around the world showing no showing everybody how how strong people are. the young women and their families had to think carefully about the effect they're certainly would have on family life and whether it might affect their marriage prospects or responsibilities in the future. set up the clip of a soul and the mystical and then. as work with what i want to have the. results have been a man out of this was that i gave a sphere some part of what he was. and could a little heaven in my having. got. on. and off.

and if they lose to the boys then they say right tomorrow you know tomorrow we win so it's it's it's it's interesting all i see is someone who's driven someone who's committed and somebody wants to work so i find it very difficult to tell them apart to be honest. coming up in part two these are many women became about something more than just going out to sea in boats. when mum has been with them now when she. may be not the sort i had wanted been right yet i'm a foreman in the not the father in the month and not in number four. and no thing for us and what i've been kind of thought to. do but i am a full manasseh. and the impact made

the car. and. point. and the. only market there are an awful lot of the seven hundred and like us low it got any continue no when it was intense and will continue. sampling can be a sport for different shapes and sizes as with other sports mental resilience is just as if not more important than physical strength. not about sport for women because you don't have to be the strongest if you're strong helps but there's positions on the boat where actually we need someone to be as small as possible we need the tallest we need the smallest we need someone strong we need someone very gentle the most important thing you need for sailing is

you need a good mind if you go to a good mind and you can understand the game then when there's a position on the boat for you to ten men. to ten men. will be able to get heat. to ten men. mark and head. to get the most. and so we. so help we. have had. a good. any i'm like any other but any of the anything i've said enough and said. i had it it says he does this about. the head and that my dad is at the head out of the fattest safe with those at the head and have little to live in any. cured and. cure with the head the. i would have to had that women in sailing

in general there is the perception that women are not as strong. and nor does dedicated and therefore they'll be they'll be easy to beat but we've had a wonderful some of this year with the girls of going round to europe on good racing and they competed in a world championship and there was at the end of the regatta there were male teams going up to the girls and saying to them ok respect you know well done you know you have all respect i have been sailing for twenty five years you've been sailing for one year. and you beat me and hopefully you know the goals realize that even though you're starting in a position where people don't believe that you will be a good competitor when you are they are so impressed that you have their respect for life.

the my. uncle and one of them. and it's going to. let any one get out that they could have walked the didn't bit the foreign policy doctors say you did have it. arabia tore it in two thousand and twelve started in. what passed. and the united arab emirates. and didn't know how much. the four and

thirty a women joined for professionals for the race to make a crew of eight. the

thought out of this without a stimulus. from the head of didn't work out of. mad men because that. the faster we use it. in know it into our bobbin and our sauce it's all our own thoughts a lot of. kind of. welcome and. or kind of the dick of thought here. let's keep from one hundred but then i feel i have a lot of. items in our family than what i have. and it has a. lot

of professional and. slosh but having the luck on door to get done a sauce with up. the months going to. the most of the. behind had i'm on. a but in jazz been spotted in the i'll do a sausage for you. at the loo and the only thing. someone you know it at the tab for the money but has there been any and that it will be fully a month and he's going to. but to get started at the top on the right look i'm not going to. get his and you and and so what.

you've been so we listen to each other. with and. and so we judge my own company. gotten full aka. apart from gender driving motivation and the mix and chemistry of the team are all key factors in mold seen a successful crew accession the hadn't been any an unknown shabab a common no. what's the how much a woman of the men sit. behind. the scenes where she father was sent home to lend them money for if another mom is going to doesn't want to have one also talking about the one has seen really worked each one is a little different. there over individual we have some girls

who are very very quiet very calm under pressure but inside their own ways thinking when it goes badly for them we make a mistake we don't do very well you really see them getting upset we have other girls that always like to joke and always like to turn everything into a smile and laughter but when we start the race. everyone becomes very serious and everyone becomes very very driven on that as there is always an atmosphere of next time we do even better next time we do it better. as well as empowering these young armani women in ways they didn't imagine possible

sandlin enabled them to develop as people. yeah. i need that i have a teeny kid my now. much to my your oid mishandling of anatomy and pain they are so how can be any. good on the economy j.t. on a was a me. and professional. so i went out the hot.

and in the office and welcome to what j.t. ward hundred the one of j. towards should not have one had to say when. someone. with broken heart to come and know the skin of a humming to been at the moment i'm bella hanna a dreadful bit milan agree so we. had a hand with it. it was the first woman sailing team in the whole gulf region. they set out to change perceptions of women in the region by doing the same thing as the men in the same conditions. but it was about more than just yacht racing they wanted to move barriers to achieve something different. has been with. well. you know. maybe not the

sort i had been with. the father in the months and in the short. for. us. the decision to have. have been taken. on. at the. athens a lot of. that have seen first competitive the in two thousand and twelve and twenty thirty. in the eighty world competition and more say.

a month later she became the first of many women to compete in the fastnet race and all months flagship boat will send them. we send them and. because of the bit make the know how they're caught i. kind of been a spy and i want to. send them. a shot when you can't watch it from hanna had any welcome to. any model for no. seat other. but how. about a. motivational. talk and so we would be fired hams

and i know you cannot or before had come and gone and for you or sydney or for i seem kind of monaghan didn't know i was the. moment to check on among them. done or. done and if in a pot i said handed out to someone to comment about what i. thought it meant because i thought you were there not a bit in the book at a lot of. comes. in two thousand and thirteen was the first time i had competed outside the.

class size of. going to france was a me and thirty years development. the become. at the risk of an so we could rebut that himself seebach shark it will elena. i have a horse. and sheriff a dollar. sheriff. and so and so was so so in just almost i went in just for the simple reason so we say and you know if you've been out there a hotel before how do you deal with. a minivan and. how do you feel obligated under the law and then you might if you're not friends that

would end but if you. and. your blood into don't get much out there much i value and can see you. and what will you and so on but. then again when i come back to american most only but when i can all but i do know him if you can because he doesn't as and if you tell the child that much but how. should i when and how do i not living through good will then. give it to you. i cannot be the only. one i would really what i would really like the authorising to do and if i die if i leave him alone sile twenty years time you know i look back what i want the author writing to do is to show other people women men

that this is a good adventure it's hard work but if you work hard you race against other people around the world and you earn their respect there is there is nothing better than it is something really special to have people say. well you know you were impressive you really you know i respect your talent and that's what this team is about it's about hopefully some children looking at the team and think it will maybe maybe that is for me maybe i should work hard enough that i can go to a world championship with your mom flag or you know on my back and show everybody how strong we can be. as today i gradually began to see themselves as role models and that they had a responsibility to send example to other young are many women who might follow in

their footsteps in the future. and that is a console human am i want more money at the phone and in reality i've had good i thought that they landed in. my theory but the big thing for all of us and that's the same for the girls is hopefully we don't want to be the only thing we want to show everybody that it's possible it's possible to be to be a good arab woman and to be a fantastic athlete as well but they are both very possible so the more teams the more happy we are and shyla atlantic will feel they can be come in. for a common work to lift the lot of via. in an a d in jazz mama kind of changes pretty cool. and i don't.
