Women on the Water (WoW) brings women together to build sailing skills, gain confidence, and enjoy the camaraderie of being on the water. Through practice sails, classroom learning, and hands-on experiences, WoW creates a welcoming community where women can learn from one another, develop new skills, and grow as sailors.

Practice sails take place aboard our Friendship Sloop Persistence or another boat from the MCSC fleet, depending on conditions and availability. Led by Captain Leigh, these small-group experiences offer opportunities to practice boat handling, build confidence, and enjoy time on the water together.

The Season Continues in the Shop!

When sailing season winds down, the WoW community keeps going. Our volunteers are now working in the shop on Thursdays and Saturdays, helping clean, sand, paint, varnish, and maintain our boats for the season ahead. It's another way to share skills, learn something new, and support the MCSC sailing community.

Looking Ahead to 2027

We're already looking forward to another season of Women on the Water! Plans for 2027 practice sails, classroom sessions, dates, and registration will be announced as they are finalized.

Whether you're an experienced sailor, currently taking lessons, or interested in becoming part of the WoW community, we'd love to hear from you.
