It’s noticeable that more men are involved in sailing than women. Since the Latitude 38 Crew List allows one to see the gender of participants (I can’t imagine why they think it is important), I thought I would do a little study. Results are as of today.
Totals:
Racing Crew 189
Racing Skippers 33
Daysailing Crew 220
Daysailing Skippers 40
Cruising Crew 449
Cruising Skippers 122
The Latitude 38 Crew List Party is at 1800 hrs March 9 at the Golden Gate Yacht Club. Temerity Racing will be there to meet new crew prospects.

Is this why we see so few mermen?
