A huge congratulations to Margherita Porro (Port Helm) on winning the Women's America's Cup Team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli!

Margherita is an accomplished WASZP sailor who first entered the class at the 2018 European Games in Malcesine. She has spent much of that time since focussing on Olympic Campaigns in the 49er and Nacra 17 while competing at as many WASZP events as she can on the way through. She most recently competed on this year's Nastro Rosa Tour in the WASZP!

Well done to all our WASZP Alumni who have competed in the past month on the AC40s and the Youth & Women's America's Cups. Check out the WASZP Hall of Fame here.
