The occasion was a hard one to miss, as the team brought along their J/24 boat that they will be racing in the J/24 World Championship for the first time.
Surrounded by Sea Bags crew as well as many tourists and locals, the women expressed their excitement about being the first all-women team from Maine to compete in the J/24 World Championship. With 68 other teams competing from 10 different countries, they expect the competition to be challenging, but are aiming to come in first place among the all-women's teams.
When they arrive in Canada, all boats will be measured and weighed to ensure a level playing field among all of the competing teams. The first official race takes place on Tuesday, September 19th and will continue through Saturday, September 23rd.
