This year’s theme for International Women’s Da

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, ‘choose to challenge’, seems to perfectly describe the Cherub class.

The Cherub fleet challenges sailors to compete on an equal playing field, regardless of their gender. This culture of inclusivity has fostered a unique on-water race environment filled with friendly competition and camaraderie. Off-water this exists between sailors and spectators alike.

Andrew Glassock, NSW Comitttee member and long-term skiff sailor, explains “I don’t think there is any other open skiff class that is as successful as the Cherub’s in promoting female participation and gender equality in sailing”. During their last national titles at Darling Point Sailing Squadron, 15 out of the 29 helms within the participating fleet were female, with four crews comprised entirely of women. Not only did our talented female Cherub sailors ‘choose to challenge’ at this event; they rose to the occasion. In fact, every perpetual trophy bar one was taken home by a mixed crew.

Women have long had a history in the class. To some extent, this may be a credit to the design of the boat, which allows women and men to enter the class on an equal playing field. If you ask Cherub sailors though, they will happily tell you their gender balance is more so a testament to the encouraging and open-minded temperaments of both the men and women who represent the fleet.

Skipper Lily Peel has sailed with female crew Cathy Pagett now for five seasons. For Lily, the question of gender equity within the fleet has never really crossed her mind. She believes that whilst she may have a few more swims than some of her heavier male counterparts in a 25-knot southerly, being a woman in the fleet has never been a point of contention or disadvantage. For Lily, there are not female and male Cherub sailors - there are just Cherub sailors.

We are so proud and privileged to have a gender-equal fleet and strive to promote gender equality within our Association. We would like to take this occasion to thank all the beautiful women in our fleet and encourage others to join in the fun. May we continue to foster an inclusive and diverse fleet for generations to come.
