Today, the Duchess of Cambridge was in Portsmouth to learn about projects inspiring young people to take up sailing. Catherine visited the headquarters of 1851 Trust, a charity of which she is Royal Patron.

The 1851 Trust is the affiliate charity of Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR), the British sailing team aiming to win the America’s Cup. Today, Kate helped  launch the Trust’s two flagship sailing projects in partnership with UKSA and the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation. She met people involved in the project, which aims to encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to pursue sailing as a sport.

For today's visit, Kate wore her military-inspired Alexander McQueen separates, first seen during a visit to the Summerfield Community Centre in August 2011, and again for a visit to Bletchley Park in June 2014.

The navy and white combination of today's outfit was a conventional choice. Kate has donned traditional nautical colours for her past 1851 Trust engagements.

For her session on the water, Kate changed into technical gear by Henri Lloyd - the official outfitters of the Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing team.

She sported a new pair of Adidas 'Pure Boost X' running shoes (US$119.95) in Black with 'Shock Green' laces. The lightweight training shoes are equipped with the Adidas signature Boost foam properties and have a soft, sock-like upper that is designed to hug the foot.

Following her stint on the water, Kate made another wardrobe change for her trip home. The Daily Mail posted photos of Kate leaving the Land Rover BAR headquarters wearing a casual all-black outfit.

The Daily Mail suggests Kate wore the J.Crew 'Cambridge' cable crewneck sweater (US$88.00), however judging by the size of the cable knit and ribbing I don't think this is correct.

Kate's sweater is consistent with a Ralph Lauren design.  Below we show three possible options from Ralph Lauren's various lines:
Picture
Ralph Lauren POLO $398
Picture
Ralph Lauren Black Label $750
Picture
Ralph Lauren Collection $750
We may never know which style Kate wore, but if i had to put my money on one, I would say it's the Ralph Lauren POLO Slim Cable Cashmere Sweater. What do you think?
