We are a group of women who are members of ABYC and meet regularly to share our sailing skills. We sail every week on Wednesday. Starting with a potluck lunch, a skippers meeting, and then sailing until around 3-4 pm. Every Monday evening, we also, will meet at the flag post at 5:30 pm and sail until 9 pm. Our group members take turns sailing on their boats or other skippers' boats and are welcome to join the practice race series organized by the race committee. If you are interested in joining us, please register or download the app onto your smartphone so we know who attending on the day. The skippers decide whom they take sailing and set the tone for the experience. We recommend bringing your sailing equipment and provisions to ensure you are prepared for the sailing conditions. We look forward to seeing you out on the water and happy sailing!
Come celebrate the new sailing season. Reconnect, have some laughs and get caught up with some new sea stories
Join us for our pop-up speaker series which may include a clinic, seminar or just group learning experiences when the weather or conditions are unfavourable

Mary J had a brilliant idea to organize evening cruises this summer, taking advantage of the full moon nights. We specifically chose Monday nights as there is a full moon falling on August 19th. We have partnered with the race committee to participate in their beginner racing series on Monday nights. On the 19th of August, we will be heading out for a race followed by a moonlight cruise. Stay tuned for more details, as there may even be an option for an overnight cruise under the full moon. It’s going to be a magical evening on the water!
