Happy #Internationalwomensday !! To celebrate this check out our inspirational women involved in our sport! From volunteers, sailors, boaters, officials, coaches, instructors and parents we want to thank you all for everything you do to support your sport! We are also launching our Women on Water Programme for 2019! The initiative, which sees women of all abilities take to the water, is being run in conjunction with a number of sailing clubs right across Northern Ireland. Women taking part in the four week programme will learn the basic skills of sailing, as well as meeting many new friends along the way. “The programme is open to all – you don’t need to be a member of a club already and you don’t need to have any sailing experience. This is a chance to get out on the water and have some fun.” If interested, you can find out more by completing an expression of interest form, which can be found here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-on-water-expression-of-interest-tickets-57996404808 #sailsocialsailsmiling #activefitandsporty #WOW #WOW19 ...
