SailGP, the international racing league, requires each team to have at least one female athlete onboard during races.

The article from MSN discusses how new professional sports leagues, such as SailGP, are actively promoting gender equality by integrating women into high-performance roles traditionally dominated by men. SailGP, for instance, mandates that each team must include at least one female athlete, aiming to increase female participation in sailing. This initiative not only provides visibility and opportunities for women in sports but also challenges the norms by showcasing their skills in a competitive environment. The league's approach is part of a broader trend where new sports entities are designed with inclusivity in mind, reflecting a shift towards more equitable sports environments. This movement is supported by the belief that diversity enhances performance and innovation in sports, with examples like the Women's Big Bash League in cricket also highlighted for its role in advancing women's sports.
