When will a Woman helm an America's Cup AC75? | Inside America's Cup

For 175 years, the America's Cup was a men's sport. Now, for the first time in history, every AC75 MUST carry a woman on board. But there's one final frontier: the helm. The AC75 has no grinders, no cyclors, no physical barrier left to hide behind. So why hasn't a woman helmed one yet? We speak to Jo Aleh - the first woman ever to sail an AC75 - Hannah Mills, Odile van Aanholt, and Nathan Outteridge about what it will take to put a woman on the wheel in the world's most storied and historic yacht race. 0:00 Intro 1:07 Women on the AC75: The Last Frontier 2:43 A History of Exclusion 4:09 Jo Aleh: First Woman on an AC75 5:10 Odile van Aanholt: No Physical Excuse Left 5:48 Hannah Mills: Building the Pathway 7:17 Jo Aleh: The Door That Wasn't Open 10:12 Nathan Outteridge: The Pipeline 11:54 The New Rule - and Its Limits 14:02 When Will It Happen? 17:54 Closing Thoughts SUBSCRIBE to the official America's Cup channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/americascup Follow America’s Cup on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americascup Like America’s Cup on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup on X: https://x.com/americascup Stay up to date with the America’s Cup newsletter: https://www.americascup.com/en/newsletter The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup will be defended in Naples in 2027 by five-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, @EmiratesTeamNZ . #AmericasCup #AC38 #Naples2027
