​

The Deed of Gift states that "Eligibility shall be by invitation to the selected organized women's sailing groups."

"The competition shall be held annually and shall consist of a series of five races with a minimum of three races, or a round-robin series, whichever is more desirable in the opinion of the Broad Reachers, in a one design class sailing yacht.  The series shall be a single-handed competition or, in the event that enough one-design sailing yachts become available large enough to accommodate a crew of three (skipper & two crew), then one team from each organization may compete."

The competition will be held in prams furnished by St. Petersburg Yacht Club at Pass-a-Grille. Each group is invited to enter two sailors. Having an alternate skipper is suggested.  Each club is also invited to supply one member to serve on a protest or race committee as needed. Spectators are most welcome and encouraged to attend.
