Elaine, Lisa-Marie and Debbie, 
I've only sent this email to the three of you. Please PREVIEW it before I send it out to all past participants of the Women's NAs from 2012 - 2019. 
 
Please look it over and let me know if you have any additions or edits. 
 
Our last conversation on this topic was August 2019... with 2020 being a wash, now is a good of a time as any to pick back up on this conversation. 
 
Thank you for your thoughts on this matter!
Laura

Hello Women Lightning Sailors!
 
I hope you are all well and staying healthy.
 
We have created a new mailing list category/ communication group called "Women's Lightning Sailing". You have been added to this list because of your past participation in the Women's North American Championship. If you do not want to be a part of this group please simply drop me a note in the Lightning Class Office ( office@lightningclass.org ) and I will remove you. 
 
Back at the 2019 Women's NAs in Buffalo the participants talked about increasing opportunities for women's sailing in the Lightning Class.

With 2021 now here, this is a great opportunity to get those discussions going again. Does anyone have any fun ideas or things we might want to do? If there is enough interest then I might suggest scheduling a Zoom Call so we can discuss. Does anyone want to be the Point Person or serve on a committee for Women's Sailing in the Class? 
 
So it is easier to compile these answers, please take a few minutes to answer this short three question Survey by Friday, March 12th. 
 

2021 WJM
The 2021 Women's North American Championship is scheduled for August 4-7, 2021 at Pymatuning Yacht Club. Registration for this event opened today and is limited to the first 70 boats (across three fleets - Women's, Junior's and Master's). So far we have 5 Women's Teams entered. The regatta is still 5 months away, PLENTY of time to get a team together. So if you have any interest in sailing the event, REGISTER and start planning!

If you have any questions about the regatta check out the regatta website at https://pyc-wjm.com 
 
If you know of other women who haven't gotten this email and would like to be part of the Women's Group drop me a note in the Class Office. 
 
Here's to more sailing in 2021!
