Check out this special episode of Sailfaster focusing on the upcoming Women’s J105 Regatta in Annapolis.  Joining me on the pod were regatta organiser and long time advocate for women in sailing, Molly Wilner, along with top sailors Marie Klok Crump and Claire Ward, all sailing in the regatta.  We discussed the origins and goals of the regatta and had a very interesting discussion about the differences between men and women teams, and the barriers that are often faced by women in the sport.  And on a sombre note, this episode included a tribute to Maggie Flanigan, our dear team mate on London Calling, who unexpectedly passed away last week.
