Over recent years, women’s participation in JOG has continued to grow, with women now making up just under a quarter of all competitors across both our coastal and offshore racing programmes. That progress reflects the commitment, confidence and enthusiasm of women racing throughout the JOG fleet — often as part of strong, supportive mixed gender crews.
To build on that momentum, and to celebrate the achievements of yachts sailing with significant female representation onboard, JOG is proud to introduce the Women’s Sailing Series, sponsored by Nautical Cloud. The Series runs alongside the existing racing programme, recognising performance while encouraging continued participation in coastal and offshore racing.
JOG yachts with crews that include or exceed the minimum number of women outlined in the table below will automatically be entered into the Women’s Sailing Series.
Total number of crew | Minimum number of women |
2-5 | 2 |
6-7 | 3 |
8-10 | 4 |
11-13 | 5 |
14-15 | 6 |
Calculation of Points: For each race, eligible yachts will be ranked irrespective of their class according to their corrected time. Points will subsequently be awarded according to the JOG Points Scoring System set out in Appendix 2 of the JOG 2026 Notice of Race.
Ties will be broken in favour of the highest single race score. Where a tie remains, it will be broken in favour of the next highest, and so on.
As the season unfolds, competitors will be able to follow the results of the Women’s Sailing Series.
An end of season prize will be awarded to the first three places in the Women’s Sailing Series by Series sponsor, Nautical Cloud.
The Women’s Sailing Series is run as pilot during 2026. The JOG Committee is keen to get feedback from all JOG competitors, with a view to formalise the Women’s Sailing Series for the 2027 season. Please share your thoughts, suggestions and feedback with any of our JOG Committee Members at destinations.
