Steering the Course 2023
Steering the Course 2023 – Shaping a Pathway for Women in Sailing
In 2023, Steering the Course focused on shaping a pathway for Women in Sailing. This focus not only introduced new sailors to the sport but also took a deep dive into the many different pathways and careers available.
We again encouraged Sailing Clubs, Centres, Member National Authorities, Class Associations, and volunteers to sign up to support the event and then to take part in any one of activities suggested. You can take a look at what happened around the World in the 2023 review.
Alongside these activities World Sailing focused on a number of key opportunities to highlights roles within sailing organisations, events and the wider sailing industry to show the variety of career opportunities, volunteer roles and ways to retain people within sailing.
Steering the Course remains an international opportunity for women from across the world to try sailing and fall in love with our sport as well as now celebrating those who remain in sailing, for life.
