Yes the scoresheet would lead you to believe that. But! I spent that last two seasons crewing for a woman and the b!tch can freaking drive and she loves it! Then I was lucky enough to get Ms. Darrow (27 year old crewing super freak) to sail with me for America's and by all counts she really seemed to enjoyed herself and it was 5 full days of breeze on!

Years ago I was the poster child for "girls can't crew an F18 competitively against the boys" and I was flat wrong! Put a 20 something female that knows her way around a weight room on the front of an F18 and it's freaking on! Granted Darrow's are rare (kinda reminds me of Sue, Tom) but they are out there.

We (CRAM) have been lucky enough to have some good mixed participation this year. Probably ~40% of the F18s at our larger regattas had a lady on the boat.
