Clare Alexander has made a major contribution to female participation in sailing through The Women’s Regatta hosted by Double Bay Sailing Club. The event was more than just a regatta for women. It was a celebration of women and girls in sailing and women and girls more generally – the female coaches, race officers, volunteers, photographers, speakers, and participants. It focused on building engagement in the sport and a new level of confidence among the women and girls. 

Since the inaugural appearance of The Women’s Regatta in 2018/19, female membership at Double Bay Sailing Club has increased 33%, representing a compound annual growth rate of 15% per annum. The club’s membership is now 19% female, with a major strategic priority to continue this growth.
