This is what women in sailing look like...and we want to help create opportunities for more to follow.

These incredible women are competing at the highest levels of our sport, but every one of those journeys had to start somewhere.

Through the Pindar Sailing 'Learning the Ropes' women and youth offshore sailing programme, we want to give more people the opportunity to step aboard an Ocean Racing Legend such as our two VO60s ASSA Abloy and Newscorp, learn, develop their skills and discover where offshore sailing might take them.

You don't need to already be an offshore sailor. You need the opportunity to become one. So, if watching these women makes you think “I want to do that”, we would like to hear from you.

And, if you represent a company or organisation, are a coach, sailor or industry professional who can help us create more of those opportunities, we would like to hear from you too.

Contact us at [email protected] and come and Learn the Ropes with us.

We are proud to be amongst the organisations officially supporting this year’s Yacht Racing Forum in Amsterdam.

The YRF event brings together an impressive cross section of the international sailing industry, from professional teams and major events to manufacturers, governing bodies, venues, yacht clubs, sponsors and technical specialists.

For Pindar, this event is a great opportunity to be part of the conversations shaping the future of our sport, while connecting with many of the people and organisations we already work with, and hopefully plenty that we don’t yet.

The team is looking forward to two productive days in Amsterdam over 19–20 November and to catching up with friends and colleagues from across the sailing world.

If you are attending, let us know or come say hello.

Pindar announces a Strategic Partnership aimed at supporting the future growth of the Global Solo Challenge.
A partnership built on logistics, innovation and a shared vision for the future of offshore sailing.
Pindar is proud to announce a new long-term Strategic Partnership with the Global Solo Challenge (GSC), becoming Official Logistics Partner of the event whilst also working together to support the continued growth and international development of one of offshore sailing's fastest growing solo races.
The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared passion for offshore sailing, innovation and creating opportunities for sailors at every level of the sport.
Whilst Pindar will provide logistics support for the Global Solo Challenge, the partnership extends far beyond the movement of boats and equipment. Together, Pindar and the Global Solo Challenge organisers will collaborate on initiatives designed to strengthen the event, enhance the experience for competitors and support the wider development of offshore sailing internationally.
As Official Logistics Partner, Pindar will deliver worldwide transport and logistics services before, during and after each edition of the Global Solo Challenge, providing competitors with specialist support for yacht transportation, customs management, shipping, equipment logistics and project planning.
The partnership also establishes a dedicated Global Solo Challenge Competitor Logistics Programme, giving current and prospective entrants access to specialist marine logistics expertise throughout their campaign, from preparing a yacht for the start line through to post-race transport and future racing programmes.
Recognising the increasingly international nature of offshore sailing, the programme will provide competitors with a single point of contact for worldwide logistics support, helping reduce complexity, improve planning and allow sailors to focus on their race preparation.
Looking beyond the event itself, both organisations share an ambition to create a stronger and more accessible pathway into offshore sailing.
Together, Pindar and the event organiser will explore opportunities to develop initiatives that encourage greater participation in offshore sailing, with particular emphasis on supporting young sailors and women seeking to progress towards short-handed and solo ocean racing.
By combining the Global Solo Challenge's unique position within offshore racing with Pindar's experience in international sailing, education, logistics and programme development, the partnership aims to help remove barriers to participation and inspire the next generation of offshore sailors.
Andrew Pindar OBE DL, said:
"The Global Solo Challenge has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting and accessible events in offshore sailing. Marco and his team have created something genuinely special—an event built around sailors, adventure and the spirit of ocean racing.
We are delighted to be entering into this Strategic Partnership. Whilst logistics will naturally form an important part of our relationship, our shared ambitions extend much further. Together we want to create opportunities that support competitors, strengthen the event and help develop the future of offshore sailing for generations to come."
Marco Nannini, Global Solo Challenge organiser said:
"From the outset, the Global Solo Challenge has been about making offshore racing more accessible whilst maintaining the adventure and challenge that define our sport.
Pindar shares that philosophy. Their expertise in global marine logistics, combined with their commitment to education and sailing development, makes them the ideal long-term partner. This partnership is not simply about transporting boats; it is about working together to build an even stronger future for the Global Solo Challenge and offshore sailing as a whole."
