Welcome
The Luffing Lassies is a dynamic women's sailing and social organization dedicated to inspiring, teaching, and promoting sailing and sailboat racing. We foster a strong sense of community among our diverse members. Over the years, many remarkable women have taken the lead as captains, and we take pride in honoring those who have served and guided us in the past.
