The experience promises potent blending of technical prowess, practical sessions on the water, and multiple avenues for personal and professional growth. It encompasses six carefully chosen thematic areas that include ILCA coaching methodologies and race analysis, a comprehensive look at racing rules and boat measurement, and insightful exploration of athlete psychology and physical conditioning.
For the second consecutive year, the St. Thomas Sailing Center (STSC) is hosting the Women’s Regatta Camp amidst the captivating turquoise waters and steady tradewinds of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the ‘Caribbean Yachting Destination of the Year’ 2025.

It beckons individual sailors and full teams alike, offering an enticing blend of intense training by globally accomplished women sailors, match-racing in the sturdy IC24s—retrofitted J/24s designed for focused team coordination and maximizing race execution, and of course, the excitement of round-the-island racing.
