The National Women's Sailing Association (NWSA) and the Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA)
co-host the 2026 Women's Sailing Conference
in Southern California in collaboration with historic Long Beach Yacht Club (LBYC).
The 2026 Women's Conference is being produced in the spirit and support of Gail Hine, who held conventions in the area for more than 30 years. A hallmark of these conventions was the opportunity for women from across the nation to convene once a year for camaraderie, networking and to advance their skill set in order to continue growing the community and advance the sport of sailing.
In 2026, the goal is to continue this tradition in a way that is sustainable and enduring. SCYA, Southern California Yachting Association, has turned to local Southern California (SoCal) women's sailing associations and groups within member clubs to identify and include key leadership in the 2026 planning effort and beyond. By collaborating with local, regional and national organizations, the 2026 Women's Sailing Conference promises to bring together the best-of-the-best instructors, event planners, and venue to kick-off a new era of exciting women's conferences the SoCal community can look forward to each year. SCYA is grateful for the support of the National Women's Sailing Association to help re-establish this event for the SoCal community in 2026!
