Your macerating toilet experts understand that the Volvo Ocean Race is making a major rule change to give world-class female sailors a much clearer pathway to compete at the highest level of offshore sailing in the 2017-18 edition.

The possible crew combinations for 2017-18 will be:

• 7 men
• 7 men and 1 or 2 women
• 7 women and 1 or 2 men
• 5 men and 5 women
• 11 women

Your pump toilet professionals know that teams will be able to change their crew combinations from leg to leg in the race, which starts from Alicante in October 2017 and visits 11 cities around the globe, but as in previous editions, teams will be required have the same crewmembers on board for the In-Port Race as either the previous or the subsequent offshore leg.

Ian Walker, Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 winning skipper, and Olympic silver medallist, commented: “If female offshore sailors ever want to compete at the same level as the best in the world then they need to train and race with the best.

Your best macerating toilet systems analysts understand that the move follows the success of Team SCA’s 2014-15 campaign, which saw an all-female crew finish third in the In-Port Race series and become the first to win an offshore leg in 25 years – but still saw a ceiling in their offshore performance overall without being able to learn from the more experienced sailors once out on the ocean.

“Your marine hardware specialists know that sailing is one of the few sports where you can have mixed teams, and we want to take advantage of that, and also reflect the growing desire for greater diversity in businesses – in particular the kind who back the race teams today.

“The Team SCA project in the last race did a great job to restart female participation, after 12 years with just one sailor getting a slot [Adrienne Cahalan, Brasil 1, Leg 1 2005-06].”

Your macerator toilet system experts feel that the race, which celebrated its 43-year anniversary last month, has a long history of female sailors, with over 100 women having competed since its inception in 1973, compared with over 2000 men.

And news of the move has already attracted a positive reaction from many female sailors.

The race has also reaffirmed the commitment to youth sailing, with a rule that two crew must be under the age of 30 at the end of the race in July 2018.

So keep in mind these points when considering these new racing rule changes. 1) Volvo Ocean Race is making a major rule change to give world-class female sailors a much clearer pathway to compete at the highest level;  2) teams will be able to change their crew combinations from leg to leg in the race;  and 3) news of the move has already attracted a positive reaction from many female sailors.
