that i'm. i'm going to. have you know if i'm going to have been center of him up a couple of bucks and i was in all. my days and about how to see that i yes. that's the seven and honest. and said we had another year just the first suddenness as if the one i was at had as shit. but not as it had in the attic i want to pack. in twenty i love it for young on many women decided to break the mold challenge stereotypes and learn to sail. it's

a world that can be dominated by men but as john and see saddam and assad made up the crew of today. and their boat were named after a constellation of stars. i don't look at them. but i know both of them. but run over them with your god not a little bit have any good to carry i can say hey i've got to go here how to do my gun evidence in the car even i would have my name to us and going to be it and a that i had been very different to how one can white cotton. about it with the head do look at us as a little. you but not as if. i says and. land in the. midst of i was due that she. had been in

on the north. team for one mode but i want to part. is funded by the government and started in two thousand and eight it's stated aim is to revive our months merry time heritage promote the country internationally and quote use the power of sport to contribute to the development of the people. they're calling it but i think. that i but my mind if they don't let it go and if you have big then. that is their right but.

in my. mind it. all up til now i've dumped enough. well there have been a woman totally. needy of them to my need to. a william from a bank that can fly home collapsed on him and all wound up on that interview in a column w. that. explain why. 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. when discovered. this point here we. want. cam must. be about. men who've been out to look around and ok and get any ice the minute.

they make in. the head the feeble llama. rather. than that i thought. i would.

have. had i would. the young woman had to pass an initial training stage in order to be accepted at home and say. well you. are going to not. look. just a. kid doesn't agree. with the guy getting all the money well you read when you get. there if they were if you got a good fantasy but at the end. with a. smile and think and wife but i don't work on that the end of every. day and i can watch

a video grab me and. you. get the more typical after that i don't miss a lot of us in worship. so we have that's going to make the forwards. were small her. 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 our monies to get involved in sailing. i think it would be a comfort if it's the book. i have and then this is. about

for one in this. i think. and i think that having them up and get ready. to hold a whole. lot of. the heavy it was and. had. all. this stereotype is that men go to sea to fish and that women stayed home to keep house. but some parts of our money society have always challenged that common beliefs and then wish them and they get. the ability i think a. good. model for if you don't. have a slate. he. got

gun knows it or much of it but. it can it does your well i don't know ruger. i think the reaction has been great because i think the most important thing we have shown people with the. women's program and that's not just the race team but all all the program is you can be a very. good woman in a traditional sense you know you can you can be. a wife you can be your daughter you can be a mother but you can also have this adventure you can also learn to sail and teach other people than inspire people and i think because we've shown that you can do both. you can still you can still be. a good i'm only a woman and also a very talented sailor going off around the world showing no showing everybody how

how strong armani people are. the young women and their families had to think carefully about the effect their certainly would have on family life and whether it might affect their marriage prospects or responsibilities in the future. to let us know how bad a test set up the clip could bustle and technical and then. as work with what i want to have the. results have been a man are the seller was the good best this up out of order he. will show you where you are has been and good to validly have been my having. got. one bad day off. has there been any and were there any within. the so we saw what has happened and it got there richard hello it carbon how this. role models

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. one of them has been with. maybe not the sort i had wanted been. in. for us and what i've been kind of. and the impact made when they took part in international competitions at the end of the. going up to the gold. respect you know well

there any. teamwork makan head going to get the. idea and so we. so we want to we have never thought of head. places that have a been. any i can the other but any of the anything i've said well you said. the head of it does it does this about. to happen that matt is at the head of the fattest save those at the head of the earth to live in the. cure wouldn't. care to head for the i wouldn't have to had that wimmin 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. on. and one. and it's going to. let any one get out that they could have loved the didn't bit the foreign policy doctors say and if you did how did. she seem mean arabia tore it in two thousand and twelve started in. what passed. and the united arab emirates and didn't know how much. for women joined for professionals for the race to make a crew of eight. the

thought out of us without a stimulus. from start to do you think the head of it in my kind of.

mad men because that. kind of the faster we use it then. i don't know if you are bob and i want our sauce it's all our own thoughts and i'll be. kind of. welcome in. the front or cut into decor fodder here. but. i don't adamson our family other than what i have. and it has a. lot

of professionals. in. a sauce with up for the months going to. but enjoy has been spotted in the i'll do a sausage for you. at the loo and you only put. some money you know it at the tab for the money but has there been any been done it will be fully your month and while the for the gifts are the top on the right look i'm not going to. send you an inch and so what i'll. give in so we listen to each other. with it and. so we judge my own comments. and you've 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 in an unknown a common no but. what's the one a woman of the city. has seen where she father said how beloved am going to fight it. doesn't want to have one also knocking about in the uk each one is a little different. they're all very individual we have some girls who are very very quiet very calm under pressure but inside they're all 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 all the

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 on many women in ways they didn't imagine possible sandlin enabled them to develop as people.

way to share any of that i have a teeny kid my nephew been ascii much to my your oid the second lot of anatomy and pain they had so how fun to be any and. been done. my to. look good on the come on in j.t. on a was a meeting at a bar one of the best and professional. so we're not the hot assessment and in the office a welcome one j.t. ward for our hundred love the one of j. toward jib not hands and one had to say when. someone. with robin hobb to come and know the skin of a humming to be honest i'm not i'm bella hanna

a good fit milan a good so we don't that lohan wouldn't. get invalid handful of did so sitting out when he was in. as 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 i don't know. maybe not the sort i had to want to be. in. for us and what i've been kind of.

for. when out of. the decision to have. any. effect. on some. of the. that have seen first sales competitive the in two thousand and twelve. twenty thirty. in the eighty world competition i must say. a month later she became the first of many women to compete in the fastnet race in our minds flagship boat.

or. we send them and who are caught a. because of the picnic the know how the car. companies spy you know when one of. them. or when you can't watch it for any welcome to. any model for no. seat of the. but how. about a. motivational. talk and so we would be fired hams and i know you cannot or or four hundred. or sydney or.

kind of monitor come to learn or i want to know when to check on among them. done or. said how so i want to comment about what i. thought it meant because you know. a lot of club it comes. in two thousand and thirteen was the first time i had competed outside the. size of. going to france was a. double

come. the rest got and so we did rebut that seebach shark it will elena. and sheriff a dolla. and sheriff. and so it's also so in just almost went in just for the simple reason so we say and in a few binocular herself how to deal with. the loss of this woman if you're not friends that's good on your end but if you. and. you did not intend to get much out there much i'd rather you and. and what would you. rather than. let it come back to american but when i

can but i dunno if you can but it doesn't and if you. got my. head i went. through could. give it to you. if you know. what i would. what i would really like. to do and if i if i leave him alone twenty years' time you know look back what i want the author writing to do is to show. other people. women men. 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 that it is something really special to have people say well that 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 it can sell human am i will not own money at the phone and a relative. and get i thought that they landed in. my city

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 fantastic athlete as well they are both very possible so the more teams the more happy we'll. atlantic wolf you. can be come in. for a common walk the lot of via. in an a d in jazz mama kind of changes pretty cool. i don't.

today a team represented on the for four years. the four women laid the ground for what's now called the on man woman sailing team. it has new members who've picked up a thirty as baton like. medal and safety and. they took part in the twenty seventeen. arabia event sailing in this new far thirty class boat. verity have track records and sports medal was an athlete and handball player. a mother comes from an equestrian background and played football volleyball and basketball. in twenty fifteen it de sam was invited by her british coach. to join the only all female crew at the volatile ocean race which covers over forty thousand nautical miles and nine months. she's part of the
