Women on Water Match Racing Courses       

The Port Nicholson Yachting Trust, with the support of the New Zealand Community Trust, proudly brings to you the women on water match racing courses. The aim of the courses is to provide an opportunity for more women to be involved in match racing. 

The courses involve eight sessions run over a four week period. The courses are run in the youth scheme fleet of four Elliot 6m match racing yachts. During each course teams of three women learn how to match race including topics such as pre start maneuvers, match racing rules, match racing formats, and general boat handling techniques. Each course culminates with a match racing regatta.

The courses are open to all women sailors in Wellington. All you need do is get together with two others and form a team. You don't need to be a youth to participate - just young at heart! Your skipper will need to have had a reasonable degree of sailing experience.
