Support for helms who want to improve their helming
6 Comments · Posted by Diana in DB Week 2009
Hi
I was also thinking that DB week would be a great opportunity for a bit of support for helms who want to improve their helming. With so many experienced helms around, it would be wonderful to set up a new race where ‘improver’ helms are randomly allocated an experienced helm who would crew for them and give them advice on how their boat is set, racing technique etc. I am sure there are some people who would love a bit of advice but don’t really know how or who to ask (I’m lucky – I’ve got my father!).
What do people think?

Hi
I just thought I would try and kick off some discussion around the future of the Ladies Cup. At DB week, there was some feeling that this cup had outlived its purpose and that we no longer needed a cup for lady helms, particularly as most of the ‘serious’ lady helms choose not to participate in the race anyway.
Personally I feel there is still a place for the cup (and I’m not just saying that because I won it!). It’s a beautiful cup, and very clearly marked ‘Ladies Race’ so it would be a shame to relegate it completely. So how about a ‘ladies race’ where everyone who sails in it must be female (ie helm and crew)?
