Windward Women
Encouraging women to participate more actively in sailing
HSA Windward Women is a friendly and welcoming place for women to sail and make new friends. We offer chances for all skill levels—from beginners to experienced sailors—to get out on the water, learn more, and enjoy time together. Whether you want to gain more confidence sailing or just hang out with others who share your interests, our group is here for you. We focus on having fun while building a strong and supportive community of women sailors. Come join us for sailing adventures and social events that are all about friendship and fun.
Windward Women Wednesdays
Every Wednesday, our Windward Women group comes together for a mix of sailing and learning. When the weather is good, we head out on the water to sail, practice our skills, and enjoy the breeze. If conditions aren’t right for sailing, we stay on shore for hands-on lessons, discussions, and activities to help us grow as sailors. Whether we’re out sailing or learning on land, these sessions are all about supporting each other and building confidence in a fun and friendly environment.
Pink Ribbon Regatta
The Winward Women host an annual small boat regatta to raise funds for local breast cancer non-profit service providers to promote sailing, competitive sailing and breast cancer awareness. Proceeds will benefit Halifax Health Foundation's Charles L. and Miki N. Grant Cancer Center for Hope for the patient assistance program as well as Heart Strings Boutique's program for professional undergarment fittings and supplies for uninsured and underinsured breast cancer survivors.
