The inaugural 2022 Tour includes four events: in France, Denmark, the EUROSAF European Championship in Greece, and the World Championship in New Zealand. Secondly, Corfu Sailing Club launched the initiative to dedicate and connect the race with the global “pink ribbon” campaign. October is the global month for breast cancer awareness, and the women’s match racing event is supporting the campaign by using the “pink ribbon” on the t-shirts of the race, with video spots and posts in social media and magazines. 12 teams from 9 nations are competing from 12 to 16 October in Corfu, including two non-European teams – New Zealand and Australia. The French "Match in Pink“ team is ranked number one in the entry list, Pauline Courtois and her team are also current overall leaders in the Women’s World Match Racing Tour. . #womenswmrt #wherechampionsaremade #steeringthecourse #eurosaf #corfusailingclub #eio #hellenicsailingfederation #iok #womensailing #corfumatch #matchrace #pinkribbon #pinkpaw #keepsailing #sailing #wwmt
