St. Thomas women sail the Club 420s.

Calling all women sailors and tennis players. The camaraderie that comes from a weekend of close-knit competition is what you'll find at the 3rd Annual St. Thomas Radiology Women's Regatta & Tennis Tournament, set for November 6 to 9, at the St. Thomas Yacht Club (STYC), St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

The two-person Club 420 will be the boat for the sailing portion of this event, offering an opportunity for novice and experienced sailors to pair up in round-robin competition where boats are shared among all competitors. Girls and women age 12 and older are invited to register. There's a special draw for boomer-age women. The new Cinquagenarian Trophy will be awarded to the highest placing team with both skipper and crew in excess of 50 fabulous years of age.

The first, second and third place finishers will also receive trophies.
