08.01.2022 HOW TO GET WOMEN INVOLVED IN SAILING - SHE SAILS AWARD WINNER, WENDY WILSON, SHARES HER INSIGHTS Wendy received the Victorian "She Sails" award for her dr...ive, enthusiasm and success at getting more women sailing. She started the SWISH program at Somers Yacht Club which involves a Friday afternoon sail in Pacers followed by a drink and nibbles afterwards in the club. This program has been instrumental in growing the number of female sailors at Somers. I asked Wendy a few questions about why SWISH works so well. Here is a summary Wendy’s answers. For more detail go to the Blog on our website, Why did you start SWISH? I wanted to share my love of sailing with friends who thought they were not capable of it. Many of them had tried a formal sailing school or sailing with their partners and found it a bit frightening. What format do you think makes it work? We always have an experienced female in every boat. The newer sailors can do as much or as little in sailing the boat as they wish. If there are not enough experienced women, we do change overs from the rib. How does the format suit the women? We only sail in nice weather and are on the water for just an hour. The social aspect is very important. We have drinks and nibbles in the club together afterwards and everyone has a turn to tell the rest of the group about their sail. One of things that define Selki Watersport is our commitment to get more women involved in watersports, particularly where they have been under represented for a long time. Thanks to the drive of people like Wendy, the word is getting out that these are sports are to be enjoyed by everyone!
