Yesterday, Jodi and three of her sailing besties took BlueJ out for a spin. They had a great time. Crazy to look out over the bay later and see your boat ripping upwind.

We used to have a ladies regatta. Basically the wives or whatever took the keelboats out to race with a real start and scoring. So I’ve had that experience. Sometimes cringing but delighted to see Lois grow into sailing. She left as crew and came back a sailor. The event died when the men wanted to go and took over. Some even wore wigs. Short term thinkers!
99.9% sure its white wine, or cocktails. Not a beer drinker in that bunch!Holding up beers? You just know they are talking about their significant others!
Great event! I don't think we have enough female members to have one.
WYC has the highest percentage of woman members in the country (around 40%) as tracked by US Sailing. Not just spouses mind you, but actual paying members. So the docks on race days are pretty much a 50/50 mix, and its not strange to see full woman crews, and we have three series where woman drive.
Three of the ladies there are accomplished sailor/racers, with Cindy being the newbie (1.5 years experience).
Jodi's been trying to plan this for a while, but weather and schedules always seemed to conspire. The stars aligned here.
You might be right about that. There are plans to make this a weekly event....uh?

Most of the boats at WYC are used 95% for racing, so are kinda stripped down and focused on that. So BlueJ with its diesel, standing headroom, full head, refrigerator, 4-speaker BT stereo, simple sail handling and storage.... minds blown.
