Noroton Yacht Club has a rich history of developing and promoting women sailing. As such, in 2023 the Club inaugurated its biennial Invitational Susan Widmann Sinclair Women’s Championship sailed in the Club’s fleet of Sonars.
The third edition of the Sinclair Championship was scheduled for 2027, but Noroton is bringing that date forward to May 16-17, 2026. This change allows the Sinclair Championship to better align with other national and international women’s championship regattas including New York Yacht Club’s Women’s Championship for the Joan H. Towse Trophy regatta to which the winning skipper of the Sinclair Championship receives an invitation.
Together with New York Yacht Club and other host organizations, Noroton Yacht Club continues to support women’s sailing and is pleased that the Sinclair Championship has become part of the women’s sailing international regatta schedule.
Requests for an invitation shall be accompanied with the skipper’s detailed sailing resume and must be submitted by January 15, 2026 to https://form.jotform.com/252684594250160. Invitations will be offered no later than January 30, 2026.
