This race requires physical and mental strength, there were over 250 applications to join Team SCA and only 15 were chosen to compete, and they compete on an equal level to their male competitors, they race the same boats, over the same oceans 24/7 for weeks at a time. Our crew are aged between 28 – 42, and come from six nations; USA, UK, Switzerland, Australia, Sweden and the Netherlands. – See more at: http://www.teamsca.com/crew#sthash.3IFrt382.dpuf
Our sponsor SCA believes that everyone should have the opportunity to live life to the fullest, and they are committed to creating value for people and nature. To champion these ideals, SCA launched the Amazing Women Everywhere campaign, to celebrate women who have a positive impact on others. As part of this campaign, we are collecting inspiring stories of women from around the world on our the AWE-mosaic http://www.teamsca.
