Lake Pontchartrain Women's Sailing Association
 Dear Sailors,
We are the women of the
Lake Pontchartrain Women’s Sailing Association. We are the only sailing
group for women that draw members from all the clubs on Lake
Pontchartrain, as well as women who are not affiliated with any yacht
club. If you are a sailor, or a wanna-be sailor, we invite you to join
our club.
Our
membership consists of women, men and juniors—anyone who shares our
goal to increase women’s participation in sailing.
We host a hospitality
table, every Wednesday night at New Orleans Yacht Club, to connect new people with skippers who need
crew for Wednesday Night racing. We have placed dozens of men and
women on sailboats this year. Some have made new friends, and some became
valuable crew, some have even bought their own boats, putting more sailors on
the water. This is how we increase our numbers, one sailor at a time.
Several
times during the year we hold educational sessions to help new people
learn sailing skills. In past years we have sponsored match racing
clinics, GPS seminars, knot tying classes, and basic diesel seminars.
This
year, we will continue with these activities. We will also concentrate
on refinishing and rigging our Flying Scot, Hull # 245. Like most
sailing clubs on the Gulf Coast, we are rebuilding after Hurricane
Katrina.
We
invite anyone who shares our goals to participate in our activities and
join our club. Membership is $50 per year, $25 for juniors
