$1K PRIZE UP FOR GRABS IN 17TH ANNUAL LEMWOD
California Yacht Club has already committed to support their entry, defending champions of 2007. “We get a great deal of support from CYC each year for this event,” said Team Captain Kellie Fennessy. “I am fortunate that we have a wide talent pool to pull from and this year’s team will be 100 percent CYC members, as it was last year.”
In the 2007 regatta, CYC was neck-in-neck with the Nauti
Senescu, a Rear Commodore at DPYC, also relies on support from her home club, and urges other organizations to get behind their women’s sailing programs. “Invest in your team – men, women, juniors. It’s what yacht clubs are all about.”
Adds DPYC Commodore Sal Pestritto, a long-time proponent of their instructional women’s sailing program and the Dana Belles regatta, “The yacht clubs have to put their money where their mouth is and make a commitment to support women’s sailing too.”
In its’ 17th year, the LEMWOD is governed by the “rules” as defined in the 2005-2008 Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), including the Catalina 37 Class Rules. Four windward/leeward races are slated for Saturday, three Sunday; sailed inside the
Entry fees for the regatta are $200 prior to September 15; $250 afterwards, until the registration cut-off date October 6. Charter fees are an additional $700, with an optional practice day October 17 for $250 more.
Included are parties and entertainment, take-home trophies, raffle prizes and camaraderie. In addition, this year’s winner will be awarded the $1,000 Linda Elias Memorial Sailing Scholarship and an engraving on the LEMWOD perpetual trophy, which remains on display at Long Beach Yacht Club.
The LEMWOD is open to all-women teams with a minimum crew of seven; no maximum nor weight restriction. The skipper must be a member of a SCYA or USSA club. Teams are expected from as far as
Spots are still available and organizers have challenged western yacht clubs to put up a campaign for this distinguished trophy.
“The first time I competed in this was in 1992 as a total greenhorn,” adds Senescu. “We lost and I was absolutely crushed. Then I realized the experience and inspiration I had with the women I was sailing with. It’s nothing like the Olympics or Worlds but it’s not like club racing either. It builds character – a classic cliché – but it’s what you make of it, and how you prepare and learn and improve.”
