CurrawonG crossed the finish line of the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race close to mid-night to a standing ovation in Hobart on New Years Eve. This was just the start.
This duo made news around the world. Featured in newspapers such as the New York Times, online social & news platforms and on TV.
Welcome to another Women In Sailing podcast.
Little did Kathy & Bridget know that being the first two women sailing Double Handed in the race would gain that much attention, around the world.
They were a double handed team, it also means that they were the only all women crew, since 2018, and could possibly be the only all-women crew again in this years’ race.
I had the pleasure to catch up, with Kathy Veel and Bridget Canham at the Royal Sydney
Yacht Squadron, as they were preparing to be coaches at the Lots Regatta on the October long weekend.
These two incredible ladies have enjoyed the sport of sailing for many years, and in this
episode they give us a glimpse into their passion for Sailing. As well, we hear about Kathy’s 50-year-old, 30ft yacht CurrawonG.
Explaining how the boat is coming together for her second Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
Kathy and Bridget are both veterans of collectively 11 Sydney Hobart Yacht Races. They
share how they met on an all-women crew Women On Water, entered in the 1989 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, and have been friends ever since.
Kathy a retired Art Teacher from NSW, and Bridget a retired Nurse from South Africa,
both in community focused professions, it’s lovely to hear they are still giving back to the community by volunteering with Making Waves Foundation.
In preparation for this years' race, they are a little wiser, have a sponsor, and are excited about heading to the start line for another Rolex Sydney Hobart yacht racing
adventure.
I hope that you find this conversation as enjoyable to listen to, as I did chatting with these two wonderful ladies, Living life to the fullest.
