She Sets Sail

A SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM DESIGNED TO EMPOWER WOMEN

The She Sets Sail initiative is a dedicated give-back program that sponsors women to gain confidence, independence, and valuable skills on the water through single-handing sailing.

Sponsor Ana Today!

“Hi, my name is Ana Arias. I am a 27 year old Mexican woman living on the Mexican Pacific coast. I am originally from Puebla, a landlocked, magical place in the central region of Mexico. 

I have always been a big dreamer, and luckily, I was raised with a really strong work ethic to make it happen. Fueled by this, I left my home town for my deep-rooted longing: the ocean…”

“I want to learn how to sail to expand my knowledge of the seas, the elements, and nature. Sailing means not only knowing the ocean, but learning about all the other elements taking part.

Finally, I want to share this knowledge and connection with other women so they can also reconnect with themselves through nature, and recognize the power lying within them as well. I am looking forward to your sponsorship to be able to learn the art of sailing through Ruby, so I can keep this change chain nurtured, alive, and prospering.”

By contributing to She Sets Sail, sponsors play a pivotal role in breaking barriers and empowering women through the art of single-handed sailing.

This initiative goes beyond the sea, forging a community of empowered women all over the world who, with the backing of sponsors, embark on a transformative journey that goes beyond the waves.

Join me in shaping a more diverse and vibrant sailing community by supporting She Sets Sail today.
