The Olympic multihull is one of only three mixed events in the Olympics (mixed doubles in badminton and tennis are the other two). Only two teams have the woman on the helm of the Nacra 17 and one of those women is Gemma Jones, daughter of America’s Cup Hall of Fame member and four time America’s Cup winner, Murray Jones.
