SheSails 2024

 

Another SheSails Regatta at Toronto has been and gone and what a fabulous event it was!

 

 

On 18 February in perfect sailing weather, 23 boats all with a female helm and a large female contingent across the whole fleet competed in the RMYC SheSails regatta.

Congratulations to our winners.

1st place: Equinox (LMYC), helmed by Eleanor Cunningham

2nd place: Titoki (RANSA) helmed by Frances Beaumont

3rd place: Misguided (WASC), helmed by Emily Fatches

After the race we had lots of smiles and happy faces in the clubhouse where, prior to the presentation, the crew and supporters enjoyed a delicious BBQ.

A big thanks to the following supporters who also contributed to the success of the regatta:

Emerson's on the Lake, Marine Outlet, Specsavers Kotara & Helen Ure - The Artsy Image
