The Magenta Foiling Pathway - Opening the Doors for Women in Foiling

Click here to sign up

Part of The Magenta Project, the Magenta Foiling Pathway is a global initiative dedicated to increasing female participation and progression in foiling. Through accessible “Learn to Foil” clinics, advanced training camps, and partnerships with leading foiling classes, they create opportunities for women to build skills, confidence, and community in one of sailing’s most dynamic disciplines. Their mission is to develop a clear, supportive pathway, from first flights to professional competition, empowering more women to take the helm in high-performance foiling and create a global female talent pool in foiling. The talk on January 28th will start at 19:30 with dinner available from 18:30 if you sign up.
