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.
