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 Storm 18 keel sailboats, and a healthy dose of fun!
For additional information on the Club’s other women’s sailing activities, please check out the Storm 18s page. There you can learn more about Women on the River, the ECYC Women’s Race, and the Women’s Championship Race.
