She Sails is an initiative to encourage women and girls to get into sailing! Events like this one will either get you started, teach you new skills both on and off the water or encourage you to get involved in your local sailing club. Sailing is an exciting and rewarding sport with loads of options to have fun! The possibilities are endless! She Sails because she can.
