YOUR SAILING HERO AND OURS — LINDA NEWLAND.

JOIN THE ONLINE PARTY to honor Linda, the 2022 BoatUS / NWSA Leadership in Women’s Sailing Award recipient.

This She Sailor Sea Story episode — RUMB LINE will feature a new generation of women sailors, cut from the same single-handed-sailor cloth as Newland. Linda and her lifetime contributions to women’s sailing deserves a round of applause. Even though Linda is currently headed northward, cruising to Alaska, we hope she will have WiFi and enjoy her well deserved recognition.

A FEW OF THE WOMEN’S SAILING FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS and Leadership in Women’s Sailing honorees gathered at Gail Hine’s Sailing Seminar for Women in April. Gail (not shown) is a Leadership awardee and former WSF board member too. These women pitch in to make things happen for women’s sailiing.

The WSF board is seeking enthusiastic women like WSF founder Doris Colgate, emerita member Gail Hine, (shown left to right) advisory council member Nancy Erley, directors Linda Newland, Debbie Huntsman, Deborah Grimm, Barbara Morris and Naomi Emmerson. You may enjoy working on behalf of the nation’s women sailors too. Join them.
