Dublin Bay Sailing Club has announced the 2023 Tuesday Night AIB DBSC Women on the Water Series, a new initiative to increase female participation in sailing.
DBSC will run normal Tuesday night racing but with an added difference: boats helmed by a woman and with a minimum female compliment of 50% can enter the Women on the Water series at no additional charge.
Eligible classes are the SB20, Flying Fifteen, 1720 Sportboat, Ruffian 23 and B211 which the club hopes will deliver competitive racing with handicaps across the different classes.
There will also be series prizes for the two top performers in the series.
DBSC Commodore Ed Totterdell says: “To make this an exciting, competitive and fun racing series we would love to see as many entrants as possible so get your team together, tell your friends and sign up!”
All WOW boats will be recorded in both the standard Tuesday Series and the new WOW Series. If your boat is already entered for 2023 you can email [email protected] and ask that your entry to this series is noted.
