Women Who Sail!

Sail! ...70% of the World is Water!

• Some women who sail are happy to be social sailors, who catch a ride on a yacht when they can and often take part in the fun races run by local yacht clubs. This is a great way to 'test the waters' and see if you'd like to learn to sail.

• Cruising women with partners, coastal or blue water adventuring for different lengths of time; a lot of them living aboard and when not at sea most can be found at marinas working to fill up the kitty so they can head out again.

• There's women yacht owners some sail solo over differing periods of time. Why?

Often they love the solitude! Sometimes they have not found the right sailing partner! And believe me it really is better solo than with the wrong crew!

If you would like to meet single sailors around the world, .....not a lonely hearts club but a meeting place for single sailing folks – or wannabes to swap stories , photo’s and fantastic destinations try this site!

• Then there are the elite ....the heroes ... the solo circumnavigators and off shore racers!!

Australia’s Kay Cottee, the 1st women to circumnavigate the world solo, non stop and unassisted was my inspiration in getting ‘into’ sailing. And Ellen MacArthur, fasted women on the planet, she gives even cruising women who sail goose bumps, she is so amazing!! And there are so many, many more!!

We all have different stories; would you like to know how I started out on this amazing journey? .......

Sailing to exotic destinations is a dream that can sometimes turn into a nightmare .... Jo Cameron faced her's in the form of a shark attack!

Carmen Walker’s story will tug at your heart strings ... A brave lady who decided to continue to follow her dream of sailing after the loss of her husband, in the appropriately named sailing catamaran ... Dream Weaver!
