CARIBBEAN SAILING ASSOCIATION

Despite the two separate race committees and start areas, today most of the fleet were on the same assignment, meaning there were some fun mixed fleets to admire as they sailed down the south coast of the island. CSA 2 met up with the bare boats right in front of Mullet/Maho just after 10 AM, giving morning beach goers a spectacular view - proving early birds get the worm!... "I've been racing in the Netherlands in an all male crew as one solo female, so it's lovely to have another girl on the boat. We are almost 50% women on this team, and we are doing really well. We won all the races in our class so far," Ava Hermans from Team Seabreeze. When asked how we can support more women in racing, Ava responded, "We have to start when they are really young. I saw a lot of little girls here coming up into sailing, and that's where we need to start.
