Ladies of the Sea

Day 1 practice Women's International Championship for the team. We're all smiles! Terrific to be on the boat, hoisting the sails and flying away on the wind. Tomorrow looking a bit breezy, so we'll see what challenges that brings.

Most of the team are now winging their way to Newport Rhode Island for the Women's International Championship. The team will be on the water from 9 September when we take delivery of our boat. It's a true privilege to be hosted by New York Yacht Club, and to have the 's made available for this Regatta. 20 teams, 20 identical boats, 20 identical sail wardrobes - what an opportunity to test our skills against the best in the world.

As our team leader and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron Vice Commodore Karyn Gojnich says 'The NYYC Women’s International Championship is an extraordinary opportunity for RSYS to accelerate our already strong women’s sailing program. It represents the pinnacle of our pathway program, from learn to sail, to the LOTS Coaching Regatta, Tuesday Twilights, one design sailing and both inshore and offshore opportunities. Many of our female members, including our Academy and Squadron Keelboat Program sailors are already competing nationally, and internationally. The NYYC Regatta caps that pathway to elite sailing'.

We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the incredible support our fellow members, coaches, boat owners, training squad, family and friends. THANK YOU. We'll do you proud - just watch us go!

All SheSails programs are winners. An honour for our Ladies of the Sea Coaching Regatta to be nominated alongside these other amazing initiatives.

A wonderful occasion as we launched our partnership with Ralph Lauren, sponsors of the teams' On Shore uniforms. In the words of our team leader and Vice Commodore OLY, “Our partnership with Ralph Lauren means our team will be right at home alongside the best in the world. We’re grateful for their incredible support.” A very stylish way to send off the team and wish them fair winds!
