The traditional ‘Lady Skippers’ Race’ has been a feature on the sailing calendar at Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron for many years.

The race is open to any yacht as long as it is ‘skippered’ by a woman.  She can have a crew of all males, a mixed crew or a crew of all females but the boat must be helmed throughout the whole of the race by a female.

In 2005 the ‘Lady Skippers’ Race’ was re-named the ‘Jennifer Goldsmith Perpetual Trophy’.  The event is now sponsored by the Goldsmith family in memory of Jennifer Goldsmith, a keen sailor and first female recipient of the Club Member of the Year at Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron.
