Sailing and saving the seven seas
Double Olympic gold medallist Hannah Mills on her involvement in Sail GP and on how being pregnant has doubled her focus on taking care for the planet for future generations
Copenhagen is hosting the latest round of Sail GP. The competition not only pits some of the best known sailors against each other on the water but also and uniquely offers its competing teams rewards for their actions taken off it. The idea is to make a competition out of being as environmentally friendly as possible, alongside thrilling action on the water. We hear from Hannah Mills, the most successful female sailor in Olympic history, who would be part of the British boat were she not 8 months pregnant! She tells us about the need for action on climate to save future generations.
