Past Programs
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!
SSC is a wonderful knowledgeable community- instructors, sailors, students- who welcomed a new sailor like me with open arms. Everyone I meet is passionate about sailing, wind, waves, adventure and community… I signed up for an overnight sailing to Poulsbo with the SSC Women’s group.
I loved every minute! Margaret is a remarkable instructor: her guidance, patience and insight ensured that every moment of this trip was of full of learning and successes. I learnt so much this weekend! The boat was great, wonderfully equipped, comfortable, well maintained and safe. I highly recommend Seattle Sailing Club to everyone interested in learning to sail!
