Welcome to Nevada's Premier Sailing Club

Nancy Cox Women in Sailing

​Mini Conference & Race


About Nancy Cox:
In memory of one of our club's active sailor's, Nancy Cox, who is now sailing celestial shores after a battle with cancer, we celebrate all women who continue to pursue their passion for sailing. Nancy was the example of courage and perseverance. All through her treatment, she continued to go to the Lake and do what brought serenity to her soul. 

The fickle wind, warm waves, and austere beauty of Lake Mead make it the perfect backdrop to come together to honor women of all ages and skill levels to share our love, fear and curiosity of sailing as a sport, as recreation and most profoundly, as a time to connect with Mother Nature and express our gratitude for our ability to harness Her power while empowering ourselves to be as strong as Nancy.

Annual event held in the Fall.

    Women In Sailing Nancy Cox Event

    Ladies, ditch the ordinary and dive into an extraordinary adventure with the
    Nevada Yacht Club! Picture this: a gorgeous day at Lake Mead, learning to sail on sleek monohulls with a crew of awesome women. We'll kick things off with a continental breakfast, then some sailing tips in the classroom with a learn to sail book, plus lunch and then hit the water for some hands-on sailing action. 
    Think sun-kissed skin, lake breezes, and the thrill of mastering the waves. 

    Grab your spot now – this is one event you won't want to miss!
    And it only costs $50! This is your time, sign up today.

    Get ready to be inspired! Every year, the Nevada Yacht Club hosts this Women-in-Sailing event in memory of Nancy Cox, a truly remarkable woman. Nancy wasn't just any sailor – she was passionate, dedicated, and even sailed through her cancer treatments. Talk about strength! Her friends described her as "loved by everyone, trusted by most, cherished by all," and even placed a memorial on Boulder Island so she could "watch over us each and every day as we sail." Join us as we celebrate Nancy's incredible spirit and empower women on the water!"
