Hello World 2019,

When people ask my why I joined the Oregon Women's Sailing Association, I say it is because I just want to sail. But in reality, it is much more than that.

Our vision at OWSA is to empower women on the water and contribute to the growth of the Portland sailing community.

At OWSA, we are ambassadors for the advancement of sailing. OWSA offers many fibers to strengthen that fabric; boating safety and sailing education, venues to meet OWSA and other community members, lectures to learn from experienced mariners, and access to an affordable environment with which to practice new skills or polish old ones.

But all of this comes with the added benefit of meeting like-minded sailors, that leads to new friendships, which grows into close-knit crews and living lifelines. I hope you come join us.

Best regards and happy sailing!
