Worldstar

Today we celebrate the women who refuse to stay tied to the dock.

The tide is turning because of women who dare to go further, push harder, and prove that the sea belongs to everyone.

Our patron Pip Hare Ocean Racing shows us what fearless determination looks like on the world stage, grit, courage and relentless belief.

And Jaz Turner a sailor who doesn’t just challenge expectations, she smashes straight through them. Every mile she sails is a reminder that limits are often just stories waiting to be rewritten.

Today isn’t just about celebrating women.
It’s about celebrating strength, resilience and the power of people who change what’s possible.

Here’s to the women who navigate storms, chase horizons and inspire the next generation to step aboard.

Happy International Women’s Day.
The wind is rising, and so are we. ⛵💜 ⭐️

WorldStar exists because serious ocean racing shouldn’t only be accessible to the elite.

This is a human-scale circumnavigation, built on seamanship, preparation, and responsibility.

Plymouth to Plymouth. One lap. No shortcuts.
