Adventures of a Sailor Girl is now in Marstrand for Stena Match Cup Sweden.


The Sailor Girl is Nic Douglass, a Sydney based sailor, sailing commentator and icon of the Sydney and Australian sailing scene. With the assistance of GAC Pindar she has been in Europe covering the Volvo Ocean Race stopover and other major events.

A day with plenty of announcements for the World Match Racing Tour allowed Nic time to just want to wander around Marstrand, and share with you just how amazing Stena Match Cup Sweden is off the water as well as on the water! The entire community comes together to cheer on the sailors which is fantastic!

Hopefully with what is ahead for the tour (M32's, fleet & match racing & $US 1 Million in prize money), we will be able to reach the mainstream even more around the globe!
