The Northeast Florida Women's Sailing Network is an informal organization of women interested in sailing. Some members own their boats and have been racing for years. Others are interested in learning more about sailing and still other women are interested in learning more about racing.
Our purpose is to provide a network among women with or without sailing experience to allow us to grow in sailing knowledge and ability through:
* sharing sailing experiences,
* educational sessions,
* teaching others, and
* sailing together

Meetings are held at 6:00 PM on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Florida Tackle & Gun Club-back porch area, 9010 San Jose Blvd., Jacksonville, FL. 

EVERYONE is welcomed to attend the monthly meetings.

Short business meetings are usually followed by educational programs and socializing. Program topics are diverse and range from race tactics and sail trim to dream cruises and stocking the galley.

The network offers women sailors and those interested in sailing a chance to get together with others who have similar interests.  On-the-Water-Sail and Workshops and cruising experiences are held throughout the year.  The number and types of events planned are only limited by the members enthusiasm and imagination.

Members receive unlimited opportunities to get involved in sailing and opportunity to receive a racing award when participating in the women's racing series.

Some things we do...

*  Women's Sailing Series- consisting of a series of four races scheduled throughout the year, expressly for women sailors, is coordinated through the network.  These races are sponsored by four different clubs in the Jacksonville area, each organizing its own race and presenting awards to the winners.  The results are then forward to the Women's Sailing Network for inclusion in scoring the Series and trophies are award in each class at the First Coast Sailing Association's annual meeting the following January.

Classes include PHRF Spinnaker and PHRF Non-Sailing with all-female crews, and Cruiser Class with a mixed crew-with at least 50% female and the helms person for the entire race must be female.

* Each month we have a  Workshop and Sail event  with a different educational experience. This month will be on Bernoulli with Allen Jones. The date has been scheduled for Sunday, June 29th.  Time-2:00PM. Epping Forest Yacht Club.  See News and Events for additional information.
