Womanship, Annapolis’ own and world-renowned sailing and power-boating school for and by women invites you to “Sail Yourself Safely Home”, Womanship’s hour-long interactive session to be featured at Baltimore Sail Fest in the Baltimore Convention Center January 23-27, 2008.

            Drawing from the 2-Day Sail Yourself Safely Home sessions Womanship conducts onboard in the home waters of yacht clubs, sailing associations, boat yards and marinas, Womanship staff and alums will guide participants through the 17 safety, control and emergency procedures they teach onboard to help hesitant sailors overcome their fears and develop both the skills and the confidence to get themselves and their crewmates safely and comfortably home under everyday boating conditions and if & when they are called upon to take charge in an emergency.
