Women’s Sailing Clinic
Join us for an evening of sailing, skill-building and community.
This clinic is intended for women who already have the fundamentals of sailing and are looking to build confidence on the water. It is not intended as a beginner sailing lesson. Women of all ages, backgrounds and identities are welcome. You do not need to be checked out on a Laser to participate.
We’ll focus on feel-based sailing, developing instinct, building confidence, and learning through feel and repetition in a supportive, inclusive and non-intimidating environment.
The Laser, the world’s most successful Olympic single-handed dinghy, is one of the best boats in the world for developing “boat feel.” With one sail and one sailor, it provides immediate feedback, helping sailors build instinct, balance and confidence. These are skills that transfer to every boat you sail.
Whether you’re looking to gain confidence in a Laser, refine your sailing, or simply enjoy an evening on the water with other women, we’d love to have you join us.
Spots in the Lasers are limited. If registration exceeds the number of Lasers available, we’ll open additional spots in Quests and Vanguards so more women can join the clinic. At least one skipper in each Quest or Vanguard must already be checked out on that class.
