Editor’s note: In mid-March, four sailors from Connecticut and Rhode Island traveled to the Principality of Monaco to compete in the Tropheé Virginie Hériot, an all-women’s regatta hosted by the Yacht Club de Monaco and sailed in J/70s. The event celebrates Virginie Hériot (1890-1932), who was known as ‘Madame de la Mer.’ She is the first woman to win an Olympic Sailing gold medal, as part of a mostly male 8 Metre team at the 1928 Amsterdam Games.
