Women in yachting speak out against predatory behaviour
SuperyachtNews will be releasing a series of interviews with women who have suffered from abusive and predatory behaviour in yachting…
Cases of sexual assault and predatory behaviour in the superyacht industry are becoming increasingly publicised in a manner that is more conducive to change.
