Our activities aim to foster an atmosphere of encouragement and support, empowering women to pursue their sailing aspirations in a comfortable and safe (no yelling!) environment. Whether you’re a new sailor embarking on your first class, aspiring to be a a skipper or even a Captain, cruising the Puget Sound, competing in regattas, or setting sail for global adventures, our women’s sailing programs eagerly invite participants of all experience levels and interests. The Women’s Sailing Program promises an enjoyable opportunity for women to learn, share experiences, and sail together!

…I had my first overnight cruising experience and I made friends I’m still sailing with 2 years later. A great program!   Karey J. -- SSC member since 2011

Women’s Racing Program

Summer racing programs at SSC are tons and tons of fun! Monday nights are spent racing in Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s Ballard Cup and we are so proud of our all women J/105 team!


Coaching

The women’s race team often participates in the Ballard Cup Monday Night Series. With an experienced skipper on board, the women’s crew can build on sailing skills they already have and begin to learn the ropes of sailboat racing. We invited all levels of experience to join the women’s race team!

My favorite SSC memories are the women’s cruising trip to Port Townsend, women’s racing team for Ballard Cup 2013(girls rock!), and learning to race on a J/24 in 2008…   Susan N. -- SSC member since 2007
