    “It’s Crucial to Keep Competing” – Libby Greenhalgh Libby Greenhalgh Flies the Flag for The Magenta Project at The Atlantic Cup It is the first time an all-female team have competed in The Atlantic Cup, a race described as America’s Class 40 Grand Prix! There is less than a week to go to The Atlantic Cup, a race described as America’s Class 40 Grand Prix. Britain’s Libby Greenhalgh is linking up with Canada’s Liz Shaw to compete in the first leg, 648nm from Charleston to New York onboard Oakcliff 118. Twelve yachts representing 5 countries will be on the start line and Libby and Liz are the first all-female team to take part. “It will be challenging to be racing short-handed in a demanding off-shore race against some of the top sailors in the world,” says Libby. Libby, an accomplished Volvo Ocean Race sailor; two-time British Olympic Team meteorologist; a 1720 Class European and National Champion, with a total of three transatlantics under her belt is now one of the leading forces behind The Magenta Project. The Magenta Project, is a non-profit organization that aims to advance women in professional sailing. “Our goal is to change a culture,” says Libby. “We want to increase the percentage of professional female sailors from less than 3% to 10% by 2020.” “One of the ways to do this is to showcase what can and is being achieved – both to provide role-models and to influence organisations to develop opportunities for women. That’s why it is crucial to keep competing: Yes, to improve performance; yes, to keep pushing each other – but also to show sponsors and race organisers the value of women.

All of these sketches were written while I still lived there, and I’ve used this structure to give the reader some sense of the two roles that a foreigner plays in a town like Fuling. Sometimes I was an observer, while at other moments I was very much involved in local life, and this combination of distance and intimacy was part of what shaped my two years in Sichuan.
