Historic and Modern Women Sailing
Whether you are interested in the history of women in sailing or the modern world of women sailing, there is a great deal of information in books and online. One of the best books on the subject of women at sea is called Seafaring Women: Adventures of Pirate Queens, Female Stowaways and Sailors' Wives by David Cordingly. This book is both informational and entertaining, ideal for anyone who wants a historic yet romantic picture of women in the sailing world throughout the ages.
In today's modern society there are plenty of resources for female sailors. For example, Womanship is the first all-female sailing school in the world. This school has been open since 1984 and welcomed women from all walks of life, ranging in age from 18 to 82. The goals of Womanship include providing a positive learning experience for women who also want to discover themselves while learning how to sail. Here women can learn not only how to be part of a harmonious team but also how to assume leadership.
If you are a woman interested in sailing you may want to check out the National Women's Sailing Association. The NWSA was founded by Doris Colgate with the goal of providing women with learning opportunities that are both educational and fun. The association offers programs such as You Can Sail, Take the Helm, British Virgin Islands Women's Week and various others. These get-togethers combine the learning of practical sailing skills with fun and socialization. Thousands of female sailors throughout the years have participated in these NWSA events.
There are also women sailing adventures that are for women only offered at destinations around the world. Then there are local and regional clubs and associations for females in the sailing world. You may even want to consider joining some online groups and forums devoted to the world of sailing. Although sailing and yachting is commonly viewed as a male sport, women are also a big part of both hobbyist and competitive sailing and yachting. The highest aspiration of women in sailing would have to be the Olympics, which now has a female sailing competition. The last United States woman to win sailing gold in the past two decades was Anna Tunnicliffe, who competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
