#EMPOWHER
Your 2026 Epic Journey With
CAMPAIGN 2025-2027
#EMPOWHER
A Ground-breaking Offshore Racing Campaign for 2025 & 2026
Irish skipper Pamela Lee is set to make history as she embarks on an ambitious offshore racing campaign, competing in the Class40 Championships and ultimately the prestigious Route du Rhum in 2026. This legendary transatlantic race, held only once every four years, is considered the world’s most challenging single-handed offshore competition. Should she succeed, Pamela will become the first Irish sailor to compete in this extraordinary event.
The #EMPOWHER campaign is more than a sporting endeavour—it is a platform for meaningful change, leveraging the power of ocean racing to drive progress on critical issues such as equality, diversity, and sustainability.
With an intense program of training, racing, and strategic activations already underway, the campaign presents a unique opportunity for partners to engage with a high-performance sporting initiative. Through #EMPOWHER, sponsors will gain access to the excitement of elite offshore competition, the influence of a dedicated and inspirational spokesperson, a compelling communications program, and a network of like-minded partners committed to innovation and impact.
🚀 Join this pioneering journey and become part of an extraordinary story.
