Great post about women in the sport. We agree there is a lot of room for expansion for girls on all types of boats. The laser radial is a great place for girls to sail a single handed performance boat as is the byte. The Europe dinghy is wonderful as well but they are definitely pricey.

While we are on the subject of women in sailing I want all of the potential crew out there to know that we are now accepting resume's for a crew for next year's Worrell 1000. They must weigh less than 135 lbs and they need to have extensive catamaran sailing experience. The entry fee and charter fee for our team are paid in full and we are adding more sponsors to our TEAM this coming week.

If you fit these criteria and think you might like to sail in the race next year please send along your information. We would prefer a female from our sonosrs point of view but I am not adverse to a male if they are light enough.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
