Defining “Sisterhood”: Anyone Who’s Felt Marginalized
I want to be clear about what I mean when I use the word Sisterhood.
You’ll hear me say “women” a lot — because that’s a shared experience many of us can immediately relate to in sailing. But I also know that framing isn’t big enough to capture everyone who may feel marginalized in this sport.
“Sisterhood” here is a loose term — it’s for women, nonbinary folks, queer folks, and anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit the typical sailing culture and are ready for something better.
At its core, this space is for people who don’t see themselves reflected in the traditional sailing culture —the opposite of the “rich white guy” default that has shaped so much of this sport.
Starting with familiar language felt like the most effective way to bring people together — but this space is meant to grow beyond that. I want this to evolve. More voices. More perspectives. More ways to support each other.
If you feel like this space is for you — it is. And if there are ways we can expand, improve, or create additional spaces within this community, I’m all for it!
