Rolex Middle Sea Race 2026 | Ineke van der Weijden - SISI

Ineke van der Weijden is a professional sailor who is more used to skippering race yachts than being a crew member with no formal position, as has been the case for her aboard the VO 65 SISI Shortly after finishing the race Ineke spoke to us about how their race went, how good it was to have former Clipper Race colleagues as crew and how much she enjoyed not being skipper for a change. Ineke’s story is an inspiring one; she grew up sailing dinghies as a child but only returned to sailing after many years in the corporate world, signing up for the 2017 Clipper Round the World Race. After taking part in the 2019 race she ultimately returned as a Clipper Race skipper aboard Perseverance for the 2023 race, finishing second overall. @RolexMiddleSeaRace_
