With her first Olympics under her belt, Gemma Jones is already setting course for Toyko, with a stopover in Bermuda.
The 22-year-old wants to helm New Zealand's Youth America's Cup crew.
"I've always loved catamarans and foiling and speeds, and I really like working in teams so it's right up my alley really," said Jones.
Jones showed that at the Rio Olympics, finishing fourth in the Nacra with Jason Saunders as the only female helm to reach the medal race in the mixed fleet.
That's shown gender shouldn't be a barrier to the prospect of being the first female to sail in the Youth America's Cup.
"No I haven't really seen gender as a setback or anything, so I just go for what I want to do and just focus on the sailing really."
Yachting New Zealand CEO David Abercrombie agrees.
"We'd love to see gender equality across all classes. It's one thing the IOC- certainly world sailing - are pushing. "
"We have got some incredibly talent young women and I'm certainly hopeful that they'll make the grade and be on the boat."
Jones's success on the water shouldn't come as a surprise - her mother is Olympic sailing silver medallist Jan Shearer, while father Murray Jones won four America's Cups with Team New Zealand and Alinghi.
"Yeah my dad definitely helps me through the journey, but now it's my turn."
And the younger Jones is already making waves.
