Albert Pier
Friday 5th September
Irish offshore sailor Pamela Lee was welcomed into Jersey by DFDS as part of their partnership as she trains for the 2026 Route du Rhum transatlantic race. The trailblazing sailor met with DFDS guests and invited them aboard her Class40 yacht, #EmpowHER to talk about her training and life on the seas. The event hosted on Albert Pier was part of a full weekend of community engagement, with Pamela meeting members of the public and speaking to local sea cadets to inspire more young people to consider a career at sea. Pamela has set three World Records for the fastest sail around Ireland, was the first Irish sailor to Skipper the Transat Jacques Vabres race, and has become a role model for aspiring female mariners worldwide.
