WOW! (Women on Water)

WOW is a one-day 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.
