The WOWW factor! Women on Water weekend back for 2026
Gulf Harbour Yacht Club will once again host the popular Women on Water Weekend (WOWW) next March, proudly supported by Anita Dobson & Co.
Now in its fourth year, WOWW has become one of the most inspiring and enjoyable events on the sailing calendar - celebrating confidence, camaraderie, and women on the water.
Entries are open across three divisions to suit all experience levels - a relaxed harbour course for newcomers, a non-spinnaker division for cruisers, and a competitive spinnaker division for those chasing the thrill of racing.
Men are also welcome to take part, either as skippers or crew.
