Who today would think it daring that female athletes should be mainstreamed into big-boat sailing?  That was the general attitude in 1985 until US Sailing and Rolex collaborated to create the Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championship.  Twenty-five years later "The Rolex Women's" - as competitors fondly call it - stands as a testament to the huge strides made in women's sailing.  This biennial event regularly attracts both the Who's Who and the up-and-coming of women's sailing.  The 14th running is scheduled for August 29-September 1, 2011 at the Rochester Yacht Club (Rochester, NY), and utilizes again the J/22!  The Notice of Race and other information are available at http://www.riwkc.ussailing.org.
