Meetings - Women's Sailing Association of Santa Monica Bay

HomeMembership Meetings

Monthly Membership social meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month (2nd Tuesday, when Monday is a holiday), except in December when the annual Installation & Awards Banquet takes the place of the regular social meeting. We normally have dinner together, conduct a business meeting, and then hear from a guest speaker. All year long! It's a good time!

Happy Hour and networking starts at 6:00 pm and meeting starts at 7:00 pm. Dinner is a catered affair, and reservations are a must! Come early to have some food and drink and hang around with other sailors. Members may bring a guest!

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:

Growing up mostly in Rochester, NY, Wendy had few opportunities to sail. When she met her husband they began to sail together, purchased a Sweden 38 and sailed out of Westport CT – racing and taking day sails with their four children. When the children were grown, she accepted a job as Head of the Art Department at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth. She joined WSA immediately, became fleet captain the following year and, eventually, vice commodore, commodore twice and junior staff commodore.

In 2019 she bought a Hunter Legend 355 and renamed it Sadelier using the first two letters of her children’s names. Currently, she lives aboard Sadelier in Marina del Rey. Wendy’s many sailing adventures continued with many Catalina trips, the Baja Ha Ha, charters in the Mediterranean and more planned.
