Not much wind but definitely a lot of smiles were seen last Thursday morning at the Elizabeth Quay during the 2021 Women on Water as part of the City of Perth Festival of Sail.
"Now I will be honest and those that know me to know I'm not really a water person but it was so amazing. The weather was perfect, well not for sailors but for me and I got to chat with loads of amazing women from all different businesses and organizations. This is something I will definitely do again and look at doing a twilight sail", said Karen Hennessy, founder of Women in Sport WA.
Thank you to the City of Perth Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Sandy Anghie for her attendance and warm address A big thank you to Olympic Gold Medallist and Head Coach of Fremantle Sailing Club Tessa Parkinson for hosting the formalities and local youth sailors, Lucy Alderson & Holly Hunt from Akamai Race Team for passing on a few tips to the attendees Looking forward to doing it all again next year.
