Out to turn the tide on complacency - scores of jetskis in ribbon formation will ride under the iconic Sydney Habour Bridge next month, to say “no” to violence against women

The coordinated personal watercraft (PWC) ride will take place on National White Ribbon Day on 18 November, 2022. 

Around 50 jetskis, plus support vessels from multiple maritime, industry partners, community groups and rescue organisations will make a strong statement on Sydney Harbour, calling for an end to all forms of gendered violence and harassment. Each rider has a $250 fundraising target for the event. 

NSW Maritime, Surf Life Saving NSW, Marine Rescue NSW and the Port Authority NSW will all be represented in the flotilla, that will look like a white ribbonmoving across the harbour. Raising awareness of White Ribbon and also PWC safety on our waterways. 

The event will be held simultaneously with Maritime Safety Queensland’s PWC ride on Brisbane River.
