SYC Women's Regatta - Girl Power! Print E-mail

wmn regatta2Sailing the SYC Women’s Regatta – what a great way to start October!  Anne, Karen and I (Helena) chartered a 31’ Beneteau  with two others, one of whom was designated as our tactician.  The regatta included three races; the first starting at 11am and the last ending at 3pm.  It was a tricky day as the winds were only ~5-10 knots with what someone called an “epic” flood.  We all had a chance to be at the helm to share in such an exciting and challenging day.  

Back at the club for the after party, we feasted on a hearty BBQ and toasted to a fun day.  When announcing the awards for the different races, we found out that didn’t come in #1-3 for any race; however,  we did win First Place for “All Women Crew; Non-Spinnaker Division”. 

Yes, we were the only boat with an all women crew in that division.  But, that didn't matter.  We only cared about our incredible girl power.  And, oh yes, we showed it!wmn regatta1
