WOW! 2026 (Women On Water)

WOW! 2026 is a boating seminar for women. The intention for this special day is not to exclude men, but to create a safe and respectful learning environment for women boaters, both power and sail. A variety of workshops will be offered to address different levels of  experience, from novice to more advanced boaters. The philosophy of WOW is that women who enjoy cruising will be more confident, independent, and safer through knowledge and learning.

In 2026, WOW returns to the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney, but this year a second half-day workshop has been added! Participants are able to choose three seminars for day one from a wide selection including knots, docking, boat systems, weather, and more, alongside two keynote sessions, lunch, and social time.

Day Two is a 3-hour morning workshop focused on decision-making that will put into practice the lessons learned on Day One.

This 1.5 day workshop is open to all women who are interested in learning more about boats and all the things that  influence your safety and enjoyment when out on the water. DID YOU ATTEND IN 2025? If you felt you missed out on some great seminars (as you can only choose 3 of the 6 offered), please come again—you may even want to attend a seminar a second time! And you will get to participate in the decision-making workshop!

Full details, seminar descriptions, speaker bios, and sign up are all on the website, linked immediately below.
