The Duchess of Cambridge beamed
as she took to the water with the GB team in a daring sailing race
against New Zealand.
In a clip, posted on Kate and
William’s Instagram account today, the Duchess looks thrilled as the
catamaran cuts through the water at speed during the friendly ‘Commonwealth
Race’ at SailGP Plymouth.
Kitted out in a SailBP wet
suit and lifejacket, plus an orange helmet, Kate, 40, was sailing alongside
multi-Olympic gold medal-winning sailor Sir Ben Ainslie and the GB crew.
The New Zealand sailing team
was headed up by Olympic gold medal winner Peter Burling.
The Duchess of Cambridge is
Royal Patron of the 1851 Trust, the official charity of the Great Britain
SailGP team.
The charity works with young
people, using sport to inspire an interest in science and technology.
