The journey of the emancipation of women has been as tumultuous as the ebbing tide and probably that’s why, more interesting. Rolex is proud to sponsor and promote sporting events like sailing for women and assisting them in developing their talent. The Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship is the recognition of women sailors and their mastery over sailing. Maybe it is the unpredictability of the ocean waves and the momentary gusts of wind that draw the finest women sailors around to compete in what is now regarded as the crown jewel of women’s regatta. Sailing is a sport that Rolex has constantly supported and in view of promoting this sport to all people it has endeavored to go where none others have. A partnership that began many years ago in 1985 between Rolex and US Sailing has grown to become a top notch, premier event for women sailors everywhere. The Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship is a biennial tournament that attracts keelboat as well as offshore sailors who come together to battle it out and stake a claim over the coveted title. An array of activities and programs has been introduced to further augment the importance of sailing among women and improve the career opportunities of dedicated women sailors. Like the ‘Next Step to Rolex’ program that aims to improve the keelboat handling skills of girls between the ages of 13 and 17.
After the completion of the racing tournament a social gathering is held on the docks every evening, allowing sailors and their team mates to recuperate and unwind. The premier women’s regatta culminates into a grand traditional gala where winners are awarded a Rolex watch in recognition of their sailing skills.
The Rochester Yacht Club (RYC) will be organizing and hosting the social get-togethers at the docks for this year’s edition of the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship. The bid for Rochester Yacht Club a historic yacht club that was founded in 1877, to host the International Women’s Keelboat Championship was put forward by the Olympian Cory Sterl. The last major sailing tournament to be held at the esteemed Rochester Yacht Club was the J/22 World Championships that was held in 2002.This year the International Women’s Keelboat Championship will be held on the elusively pristine waters of Lake Ontario from the 7th to the 10th of October. This eminent regatta for women is about three months away; however the preparations for making this event into an absolutely flawless, world class event are already underway. The organizers have begun implementing the plans and the procedures that would make this competition as streamlined as possible. Skilled women sailors are polishing their skills and making improvements in tackling unforeseen circumstances, in a last minute effort to increase their chances of coming out on top. As the sailors and their teams ready themselves for this predominant event, crowds of reporters and sailing enthusiasts are brimming with anticipation, to discover the winner for this year’s International Women’s Keelboat Championship.
