Tuesday was Slingsby Ladies Day at Cowes Week, a celebration of the many successes of women in sailing. More than 30 per cent of competitors here are women and around 100 women helms were racing today.
Class winners among them include Tilly Harrison, overall winner of the J/70 Grand Slam, Natalie Jobling in the double-handed class, Gayle Palmer’s Sunbeam, Hannah Stodel on Cobra in IRC Class 2 and Dawn Bee on Haggis 2 in Cruiser Division C.
And late breaking news . . .
Lucy Macgregor, has been announced as the winner of the Slingsby Ladies Day Trophy at Cowes Week.
The trophy recognises the outstanding contribution, commitment, or achievement of women in sailing.
Just a few days ago in Lysekil, Sweden, Macgregor and her Team Mac won the Women’s Match Racing World Championship.
Nominees for the trophy also included Nikki Henderson and Hannah Mills, both extremely deserving nominees.
In addition to the Ladies Day trophy, the new Slingsby Best Female Helm Trophy was presented to Dawn Bee racing on Haggis 2 as the female helm out racing with the best overall result.
