Our Mission is “Accelerating women to the top of sailing”
The Magenta Project is a collective of passionate sailors committed to creating equal access and opportunities for women in sailing and to working with a wide range of individuals and organisations to make that happen. It was started in 2015 by members of the all female ‘Team SCA’ who successfully competed in the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race campaign. We are a UK registered charity, no. 1180719.
We deliver our mission by:
-Upskilling female sailors to enable them to reach the top of their sport;
-Inspiring generations of female racing sailors; and
-Driving change in the sailing industry
Our vision is “To be the worldwide organisation that enables women to have equal access and opportunities in the sport of sailing”.
Our core activities include:
1. Enabling opportunities for women in sailing through on water training, learning and development opportunities e.g. foiling clinics, race boat experience. We also support career/skills development schemes and events and STEM activities in the marine industry
2. Building networks and relationships that connect individuals and organisations and enable sailing knowledge, experience and opportunities to be shared
3. Raising awareness of women in sailing and celebrating their successes and achievements. We also illustrate the need for change in sailing, provide solutions and share evidence of what works, influence/advise on policy and offer support to event and race organisers to introduce change initiatives.
We encourage all our supporters and everyone in the sailing industry to join with us to make sailing a fully equal sport by having mixed gender crews; providing equal access and opportunities for women within professional sailing and as they learn and progress through the sport; sharing knowledge, skills and experience with female sailors and helping to support and fund the work that we do.
