Help Team Jalapeño Get to the 2025 Lipton Challenge Cup🌶

Hi everyone! We’re Team Jalapeño, an all-female South African sailing team proudly representing Gqeberha Yacht Club at the 2025 Lipton Challenge Cup – the most prestigious sailing event in South Africa.

We’re the second all-female team to enter this year, and with an average age of just 21, we’re showing up to prove that young women belong at the front of the fleet.

Why This Matters

This year’s Lipton Cup uses a one-design format, which means every team sails the same type of boat. It’s all about skill, not equipment. We’re racing head-to-head with some of the best sailors in the country, and we’re in it to make waves.

Our boat, Jalapeño, is a J22 with a serious fire in her history. In 2022, she was the only boat with an all-female crew at the J22 World Championships. Now, she’s back and so are we.

We’re not just racing for results. We’re racing to inspire the next generation, to represent young women in sport, and to challenge the idea of what a top sailing team looks like.
