Gmuer-Hornell

Gmuer-Hornell is a pioneering sailor from Northland, New Zealand, who made history as part of the first all-female crew to sail non-stop around the world. As a rigger and pitman on the maxi trimaran IDEC Sport, she successfully completed the challenging voyage, which included navigating the treacherous Southern Ocean and rounding the iconic Cape Horn. Gmuer-Hornell's journey has been a source of inspiration for young girls aspiring to pursue sailing, showcasing the potential for women in a traditionally male-dominated sport.
