Womens Network Event
KSSS has a long-term ambition to give more women the opportunity to sail. As part of this ambition, KSSS is organizing, in collaboration with She Captain, a networking lunch in Sandhamn on June 29, the day before the start of Gotland Runt. The event aims to highlight women's sailing and inspire more women to participate in future sailing events.
By showcasing and promoting strong female profiles active in and around sailing, we hope to inspire, challenge, and create the right conditions for more women to not only feel the possibility of sailing but also to be able to take part in a valuable lifelong network.
Sailing is much more than a sport. It is a lifestyle with nature as a partner and an excellent platform for teamwork and leadership. We want to take advantage of this by connecting female sailors, decision-makers, and other role models.
