Lady's Sailing Team- France J/80
You have to check out this cute blog from a remarkable group of women sailing in France. This year, this "Lady's Sailing Team" fielded three entries for the 32nd SPI OUEST France! They certainly enjoyed the sailing and the camaraderie socializing with many new friends in La Trinite Sur Mer, the beautiful seaside town that hosts this enormous regatta. In this photo are- Moana, Pauline, Tara, Allyson, Cecil-- these gals all raced in the 2010 SPI OUEST J/80 class. Based on this level of enthusiasm racing their J/80s, it's no wonder French women are the leaders in the ISAF Women's Match Race rankings. Read more about their team and approach to sailing here (all French, but Google Translate does an OK translation). Lady's Sailing Team- SPI OUEST report. Lady's Sailing Team Blog.
