Why sail solo around the world, without modern technology? There are a lot of reasons. But one of them has always been bigger than sailing. I want women and girls of every age to look at adventures like this and think, why not me? Girls like my nieces. I grew up surrounded by strong women, and I know how much that shaped the person I became. I had women around me who showed me that I could figure things out, take on challenges and go after what I wanted. And I want to be that person for someone else too. Sailing is still a world where you’ll find far more men than women, especially when you get into offshore sailing and races like this one. I don’t want that to be a reason not to try. You don’t have to sail around the world. You don’t even have to sail. I just hope that somewhere, a girl sees me out here and thinks that maybe she can do the thing she’s been told isn’t really for her. Learn. Get good at it. Take up your space. And then maybe someone else will see you doing it too. ❤️ 🌊⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me. ------------------------------------------ New videos EVERY week ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/classicmara ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/classicmara_/ __________________________ Support me: PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/helgamarielk Vipps: 39088 - Classic Mara Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/griedy1 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/173a9a5e6 Buy Me a Coffe: https://buymeacoffee.com/classicmara __________________________ Affiliate links: Dakota Lithium Batteries: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=79634&awinaffid=2732466&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dakotalithium.com Orca Navigation System: https://getorca.com/?via=classicmara PitViper: https://www.pitviper.com/discount/CLASSICMARA?redirect=%2F&utm_campaign=money%2Bcounters&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=upfluence

This well-maintained boat is ready to set sail with a range of features that combine performance and comfort.

Sails: The yacht features high-quality "Doyle" sails, including a mainsail with lazy jacks (2012), a mizzen (2014), a self-tacking jib (2014), and a yankee on a furler (2014).
