Great Britain SailGP Team Wins Impact League

The Great Britain SailGP Team, led by Hannah Mills and Ben Ainslie, emerged victorious in the Impact League season four for their sustainable practices, surpassing last year's champions Denmark and Switzerland. This league assesses carbon footprint reduction and includes categories such as climate action, inclusion acceleration, zero waste race, and breaking boundaries. Great Britain's win was attributed to excelling in the gender equity-focused 'Breaking Boundaries' category, aligned with SailGP's Women's Pathway Strategy. The competition, overseen by independent judges like Rachel Kyte and Jamie Chadwick, aims to inspire climate action and inclusivity in sailing. Emirates GBR's triumph signifies their dedication to climate action, youth empowerment, and gender equality in sailing, earning them the Impact League championship and funds for climate initiatives. The SailGP Season 4 Grand Final in San Francisco will feature intense racing among national teams, with New Zealand leading the pack and Switzerland lagging at the bottom of the standings.
