Description
This event, designed to promote and develop women’s sailing, is a regatta to help our emerging Sailing Academy graduates and invited individual/teams from other club women’s training programs, make the transition into racing.
Female crews will be formed from individual applications to sail with a Sailing Academy allocated skipper/instructor (max 5 crew) in a regatta of up to four (4) fun filled races. Crews may swap helmspersons during the regatta to ensure everyone has the opportunity to develop their skills.
During the morning of the regatta, a Training Session is also held to allow crews to practice and work on their boat handling & crew work prior to the regatta. A race briefing will be provided as part of the Training Session to enhance our entrants’ knowledge of the conduct of sailing races and provide additional education in the rules required whilst racing.
If you have any questions about the event, you can contact the Sailing Office.
