The sailing experience on the yacht Windsong was exhilarating and joyful, controlled primarily by skipper Els Robinson. Participants joined a women's Wellbeing on the Water weekend, aimed at making sailing accessible and affordable for women. Suzy Strowger notes that sailing offers health and stress management benefits, especially for women in caregiving roles or high-pressure jobs. The group consisted of 15 women of varying abilities, ages, and motivations, with a focus on shared experience and personal growth through sailing.
When the cry of Come about! came about, my jobs were to trim the jib and not get hit by the boom. Oh, and to enjoy the ride.
Sailing has been perceived elitist, and has been largely male dominated. Our women's weekends are about making sailing affordable and accessible to a demographic that's under-represented.
