Teams are getting set and signing up for the 2023 edition of the RYA Marlow Ropes Women's Match Racing Championship at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy. The event is part of the RYA Summer Match Racing Series and will see up to 10 teams of three/four crew duelling in Elliott 6M keelboats over the weekend of 16-17 September 2023.
Sign up is open and the deadline for early bird registrations at £410 per team is 23:59 this Saturday (19 August 2023), with entries then available at £440 per team thereafter.
A combination of close racing and an opportunity for women to race with and against friends will make it a popular fixture for both experienced match racers and newcomers.
RYA Keelboat Development Manager Richard Moxey said: "It's great to see a combination of experienced teams and new faces already on the entry list. The RYA has worked hard over the years to increase female participation in match racing. This event has a great feel to it - the standard is high and it will be an intensely fought championship but everyone is friendly and the experienced teams are keen to help the newer ones improve."
Also taking part are two teams from the RYA's new Crew4Gold programme, the ground-breaking talent ID project which trains up novice, but high potential, female athletes for Olympic success in the 49erFX.
The winning team could earn a place to compete internationally and will be invited to the RYA National Match Racing Championship Grand Finals at London's Queen Mary SC in October.
