The traditional Lady Skippers' Race has been a feature on the sailing calendar at Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron for many years.
Traditionally the race is open to any yacht as long as it is skippered by a woman. She can have a crew of all males, a mixed crew or a crew of all females but the boat must be helmed throughout the whole of the race by a female.
Access to RMYS in Pier Road via Cowderoy Street - please allow extra time to cross Beaconsfield Parade due to the Supersprint Triathlion.
