Off The Water - Episode 5 - Women In Sport / eSailing Champs

Our hosts Nikki Stewart and Jack Mitchell are joined by colleagues Robin Nicol and Claire Caffrey in Episode 5 in a series of discussions around women in sport and catching up on the latest successes in eSailing alongside the updates as restrictions around activity ease in Scotland.

Claire and Robin follow up on the key themes of how sport can change lives with an interview with Eilidh Gibson, a Scottish Slalom Canoeist whose project 'Slalom Inspires' aiming to inspire and empower girls into the incredible sport of canoe slalom. As our own Pioneer Project shares similar aims we look at how we can break down some of the barriers for women in our sport. (04.15-33.00)

In our second interview Jack and Robin catch up with Adam McGovern and Jack Fenwick, the RYA team behind the rise of eSailing during lockdown and how this has been the most accessible way to take part in our sport. We also find out if Scotland really are the leading nation in the World for inshore virtual racing, well we do keep winning! (33.49-48.00)

 

Finally as travel restrictions and overnight accommodation on boats is permitted from today we hope you can listen wherever you and be inspired.

Full guidance for general boating activity is now available here. 

We have added time codes so you can dip into either interview on the topic.
