Sailing for Women
Jane believes that the fundamental elements for women’s sailing are simple –
fun and friendship
Many women prefer to get sailing in the company of other women. This allows them to relax and have fun without the pressure of competition that is often seen in mixed gender sailing. Away from the dominance of members of the opposite sex,many women find that learning is enhanced and self-confidence given a real boost. Having sailed with an all-female crew I know that it can be very relaxing, (sorry guys!)
