2020 SEASON HAS BEEN CANCELED

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you the 2020 season for North Coast Women’s Sailing Association has been cancelled.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, NCWSA Board members have been diligently monitoring the laws and recommendations from Governor DeWine and state and local public health authorities, attended virtual COVID-19 safety meetings presented by US Sailing, as well as closely communicating with our host, Edgewater Yacht Club. Based on our specific racing, sailing, and educational format, the inherent risks to health and safety would hinder the NCWSA experience that women racers have come to expect and enjoy from our organization.

We are incredibly disappointed to cancel the season, but feel this is the right decision. Our highest priority is the health and safety of our members, support team, and the EYC community. You will be seeing an email soon regarding the process for refunds of 2020 membership dues.

Rest assured, your NCWSA board will still be working hard this year and putting our energy into 2021 planning! We truly appreciate your understanding and patience throughout this pandemic.

As always, if you have any questions please contact us at ncwsa@ncwsa.net.

Sincerely,

North Coast Women's Sailing Association
