Women Only Sailing


Ahoy women sailors! Modern Sailing Academy strives to provide an exceptional learning environment for women sailors, and we have several programs to get you involved. Our programs are led by MSA instructor Captain Suzette Smith.

Our women-only Basic Keelboat or Basic Coastal Cruising courses (see below) will teach you everything you need to know to begin chartering boats up to 33' on your own.

Our Women's Sailing Group meets once a month for informal daysails open to women of all experience levels, so it's a great chance to get out on the water and see if sailing is for you. Best of all, MSA provides a discounted rate on our fleet of deluxe cruising yachts, so the sails are a very economical way to get out on the water in style. Email mollie@modernsailing.com for details.

Captain Smith has been teaching sailing at MSA for the last eight years and has a broad background in the maritime industry. A veteran of numerous offshore and coastal passages, she was a member of the historic first all womens' America's Cup Team 'America3' in 1995. Captain Smith also sailed across the South Pacific without instruments onboard the famous sailing canoe "Hokule'a."
