Women’s Championship moves to 2026

At Noroton Yacht Club (Darien, CT), there is a rich history of developing and promoting women sailing, which in 2023 launched the biennial Invitational Susan Widmann Sinclair Women’s Championship sailed in the Club’s fleet of Sonars.

After two editions, the next event was scheduled for 2027, but Noroton is bringing that date forward to May 16-17, 2026. This change allows the Sinclair Championship to better align with other national and international women’s championship regattas including New York Yacht Club’s inaugural International Women’s Championship to which the winning skipper of the Sinclair receives an invitation.

Requests for an invitation shall be accompanied with the skipper’s detailed sailing resume and must be submitted by January 15, 2026 to https://form.jotform.com/252684594250160. Invitations will be offered no later than January 30, 2026.
