WOMEN’S SAILING

Taught by women for women, this instructional program is a touchstone of the Club’s commitment to improving its members’ yachting skills. It is also a beloved tradition among our female members, culminating in the Women’s Championship Regatta and Women’s Sailing wrap-up dinner.

Led by Certified Level One instructors, including a former collegiate sailing coach, Women’s Sailing incorporates strong curriculum, hand’s-on sailing and racing practice using the Club’s fleet of Ideal 18 keel sailboats, and a healthy dose of fun!
