Join us in Long Beach for the 2026 NWSA/SCYA Women’s Sailing
Conference! There is no better way to experience the water than with a
friend. Introduce a novice or non-sailor to the sport by having her—or both
of you—register for the Take the Helm track. You’ll each save $50 on
registration while helping us grow our community of women sailors.
