Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is pleased to introduce SheSails events to its annual yachting program. The SheSails regatta’s are a fantastic opportunity for female sailors to participate in one-design racing onboard the RPAYC fleet of Elliott 7 keelboats, with a focus on having fun, developing skills, and meeting new people.
RPAYC has a strong history with supporting women’s sailing, beginning with our introductory sailing courses right through to our Centreboard racing, Youth Development squads, and successful SheSails Twilight Series.
