She’s4Sports is a Toronto-based digital and events platform that brings women together to have a larger voice in sports through digital content and engaging events. The network represents a community of almost 3000 and growing, passionate women and men who want to amplify and celebrate the contributions of women in sports.  For the founder Ainka Jess this has truly been a passion project that formed out of a conversation with friends that revealed they did not feel comfortable talking about sport whether at home or at work. Ainka also heard comments about the lack of diversity in sport not just in the media but also beyond the mainstream sports. She took it upon herself to bring about a shift in perspectives by opening up the conversations for women across all sectors of sport and as we will hear the organization is growing in its events and participation.

On this episode, Abby Ehler talks to with someone who recently stepped into the history books becoming the first female skipper to win the grueling Clipper Race. Wendy Tuck skippered her team Sanya Serenity Coast, to a win in the 2017-18 Clipper Race; this was her second Clipper Race as skipper. In 2017 Wendy achieved her life-long goal of making the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia honors list after she competed in a tenth Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, actually winning her class for the second consecutive year. The RSHYR is a race very close to Wendy’s heart. The 52-year-old was awarded the Jane Tate Memorial Trophy, which goes to the first female Skipper across the finish line, after winning the Clipper Race class of the 2015 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, which doubled as Race 5 of the race’s All-Australian Leg. We hear about her experiences from the Clipper Race and her up-and-coming role with Maiden and the Maiden Factor Charity, founded by Tracy Edwards.
