Sailin’ Sisters Sponsor First of Four Winter Seminars

Sailin’ Sisters met on Saturday, January 7, at Kansas City Sailing for the first of four FREE winter seminars.  It was great catching up with several sisters who have faithfully attended in the past as well as meeting three new area sailors – one whom we have already talked into becoming a member of PYC!

Bruce Liese made the learning fun with a lively game of Sailing Jeopardy.  Let’s just say that, with the competitive spirit displayed during the game, we should have no trouble finding women willing to give racing a try next summer!  Earning the most points, Team “Wenches” lead by Amy Wilson won prizes of three Harken blocks donated by Kansas City Sailing.  Great fun was had by all!

Afterward, several women – and a few husbands – joined back up at the Slow Ride Roadhouse to talk sailing.  It was an opportunity to catch up with folks we’ve missed over the long winter and to make plans for the next sailing season.

The next Sailin’ Sisters seminar will be held on February 4th, followed by March 10th and April 7th.  Classes run from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. with an optional knot lesson at 2:30 p.m.  All women interested in learning more about sailing are welcome, regardless of your level of experience.  Bring a friend!  Each class covers a different topic so DON’T feel if you haven’t attended previous seminars that you will be lost.  There is something for everyone to learn!

Sailin' Sisters prove to be great learners and fierce competitors.

Hope to see you soon,
