Curtis, who won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics and sailed with Team Brunel on the final five legs of the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, beat out Lisa Darmanin in a training camp during the season-opening regatta in Bermuda two weeks ago.

They'll be back in Bermuda in just a few days, this time with the defending champion Australian team in SailGP as part of a developmental program designed to fast-track the inclusion of women into the global league.
