Women's Sailing Seminar- Bay Area 10/9-10

[akchristensen]

If you have never stepped on to a boat before or you are a professional racer, Island Yacht Club has opened its doors to all women for its annual Women's Sailing Seminar on October 9th and 10th. This course is geared for women taught by a group of elite women racers from the bay area.

For $140, you get 2 days of both classroom and water courses. You do not need to be a member, have experience nor a boat. We will de-mystify the sailing experience and open new opportunities to learn this exciting sport, network with boat owners or even get yourself on a racing crew for the next regatta season! This year, our Keynote speaker is Shana Bagley, who has just returned from crewing aboard the yacht "California" in the prestigious Clipper Round The World 09-10 race in September.

This is one opportunity to capture!

A few years ago I took the Elements in Seamanship for Women course at the Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, ME. I'm not usually one for segregated courses, but it was such a pleasure to be able to be yourself and not have to worry about being pushed out of the way by someone bigger to "take care of it for you". You had to sink or swim, as they say. I do recommend taking women classes.
