Inspired by the myth of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, in which Penelope showed her ingenuity and patience in delaying the choice of a new husband, the Maritime Museum of Barcelona offers an exhibition called Penelope, the Sea is Yours, which presents the experiences and challenges of six women linked to the world of sailing. They are Abril Marfà, a promising eleven-year-old who is not afraid of challenges; Natalia Via-Dufresne, a sailor with a long history of victories; Nora García, a world champion in Nacra 15 who dreams of an Olympic title Maria Torrijo, the first woman in the world to hold the titles of judge, referee and international regatta official; Andrea Emone, sailor and aerospace engineer with the Alinghi Red Bull Racing Team; and Ana Pujol, a multiple champion in skate sailing regattas. The exhibition will include activities designed to introduce children to the world of sailing.
