Meg Niblett Sailing


CAMPAIGN For the SYDNEY TO HOBART 2024

Youngest female Skipper

Participating in one of the toughest races in the world.

680NM from Sydney across the Bass Strait, to Hobart in Tasmania.

Support Our Sydney to Hobart Race Campaign

We are thrilled to announce that Meg Niblett and Wendy Tuck will be competing as an all-female crew in the iconic Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race this December! With Meg as the youngest double-handed female skipper on the start line, we’re preparing to tackle this legendary challenge aboard our Sunfast 3600.

But to get to the start line, we need your help!

Our Funding Goal

To participate, we need to secure $20,000 by November 22, 2024. This amount will cover:

  • $1,500 for our race entry fee

  • $3,500 for insurance

  • $12,000 as an insurance excess guarantee

Your support will help cover these essential costs, allowing us to compete in one of the most challenging and prestigious ocean races in the world.

Why Support Us?

By supporting our campaign, you’re not only helping an all-female crew take on the Sydney to Hobart—you’re also helping champion women in competitive sailing, inspire young athletes, and promote gender diversity in sport.

We’re also committed to giving back. Any remaining funds at the end of our campaign will be donated to a breast cancer charity and Making Waves, supporting causes that are deeply meaningful to us.
