A national team was never meant to be compulsory. Those who want to stay in their own teams can. It would just provide another option for those who want to join a women's team. There is little use starting a state women's team because there aren't enough people to make it work and we would find ourselves in the same situation as Boardcrazy girls or Divas. At least if there was a team where anyone in Australia could join (or perhaps the world??), the chances of two women sailing on the one day would be much greater.
Only problem is that it could be seen to be cheating because you would have the best of the wind conditions in each state. However, I not sure that anyone would care since we would be unlikely to win anyway.

I agree Cheryl. It is what I said earlier today. A women's national team would not be compulsory. But those who are keen (?3 so far) could join and perhaps some more.
Looks like BCG will be down to only 1 anyway, so I will need a new team!
A national team is easy, it's no trouble at all.
Just make a new team, set the state to "Other" and bob's yer uncle.
The virtual team idea (where you're a member of more than one team) is more problematic ![]()

hi fellow lady sailborders thinking of joining the challenge but unsure about how to go about the technology side of things, similar story as Sharon after a 10 year break. Regular Manly and Wynnum sailor and would be happy to add to the board crazy girls as there looks like an opening with Jo Sterling busy, or the Morton Bay Mob offered a look in. Sharon, if u would like another female during the week to keep motivated I`m usually not far away especially if it`s windy!![]()
OK we have enough interest and numbers for a national womens team, need a team name and team captain nominated.
OK guess that could work, but it will be a bit hard for people in different states to get coordinated.
I'm still not interested in leaving my team. Should it be called an Australian Womens team if all the present rated top women sailors are not in the team?
In regards to having a vitual team - Could we have another log in name for the womens team and just enter our data twice.
Lets just call it a borderless team. That way it doesn't sound like only the best are in it.
As for a name, I will have to think about it. I'm not sure about Sheilas. Sailfish is OK.
