Welcome to Concentricom & Internatonal Women Sailing Network, home port for news about events, education, technical questions and projects relevant to women boaters. Whether you own a boat, dream of sailing around the world or want to connect with and improve your skills with other women Captains and crew, IWSN and Kaci Cronkhite will get you connected.
Much is happening in the world of women's sailing and leadership, educational options for girls and women, maritime events and internet options for connecting women sailors around the world. The "concentric communications" that happen because of our common bond with the ocean are the waves, the circles, the bond between Concentricom projects and Kaci's work in Port Townsend.
HERE YOU WILL FIND:
- News about the International Women's Sailing Network
- Kaci's Presentations & progress on the book "Woman of the Wind"
- News about Kaci's work at Port Townsend's Northwest Maritime Center and Wooden Boat Foundation
- A place to ask questions and find out about international women sailing opportunities.
- An FAQ (under construction) with unlimited potential for subjects - as long as they've got the common center - ocean!
"The idea for Concentricom - a global network for women to communicate, connect and as Eleanor Roosevelt said, 'dare to do the thing you think you cannot do'.... started as I rounded the Cape of Good Hope. There, in the colorful junction of three oceans and with a profound sense of relief for another Cape passed, I glimpsed the future. From Oklahoma, to the world's oceans, to Port Townsend, Washington, my home since 2001, I've lived in the wind and learned. I've learned to thrive in a constant creative flow, to seek balance in extremes and to respond to opportunities with unbounded potential. Here we are. Let's go."
Kaci Cronkhite, March 2007 during Woman of the Wind presentations.
