 June 7th Women's Sailing Conference

Welcome aboard, women, to our 7th annual Women's Sailing Conference!  Come join us for a full day of learning, sharing, networking, and sailing at the Corinthian Yacht Club overlooking beautiful Marblehead Harbor.   We offer a variety of workshops for women of all sailing abilities, presented by some of the best women sailors around.  The conference is a great way to learn more about sailing, acquire new tactics and techniques, hone your nautical skills, and meet women who share your interest and enthusiasm for being on the water. We encourage you to select workshops that match your interests and abilities. You will have a chance to win exciting prizes in our raffle and silent auction, with proceeds  benefiting the AdventureSail® program for young girls at risk.  Moe Roddy, our keynote speaker at dinner, will talk about her experiences with Red Dress Racing, the organization she founded to help educate women about cardiac health through the sport of sailing.

Your fee of $115 (NWSA member) or $150 (non member) includes workshops, continental breakfast,  lunch, dinner, keynote speaker, one raffle ticket and a registrant packet and "goodie bag".  Due to space limitation, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  If space is available after May 15th, there will be a surcharge $15.  You will receive a confirmation notice by e-mail or telephone.  If the event is sold out when your registration is received, you will be notified.  Refunds less $25 for cancellations received prior to May 15.  No refunds after May 15th.
