Badass Women Take Charge in South Beach Yacht Club’s 12th Red Bra Regatta
On Saturday, September 21, Sequoia Yacht Club entered five boats in South Beach YC’s 12th annual all-women Red Bra Regatta. Born after a red bra was hoisted as a protest flag during a race, the regatta boats are crewed and helmed by women of varying skill levels. Sequoia YC’s competing fleet were 570, Altair, Boudicca, Granuaile, and (Love Handles).
“Congrats to (Love Handles) for their second-place win in Division C Non-Spin <152, and Altair for their first-place win in Division G Spin 115 and above!” Carol Bagley of Sequoia YC wrote.
(Love Handles) was crewed by Rachel Martinez, Malini Leveque, Maya Leveque, Maryna Taranova, Liesl Strand, Monika Trieb, Anny Zheng, Quirina De Ruiter and Yuning Pathman.
Altair was “wo”manned by Samantha Chiu, Anja Bog and Leah Hughes. Cathy Moyer, Kathy Conte, Phaedra Fisher, Deb D’Agostino, and Jen Mackie took care of Boudicca 3.0. The Granuaile team comprised Meaghan Brosnan, Heather Brosnan, and Sandy Ruggles.
“I love that there are so many badass women sailors and leaders involved at Sequoia Yacht Club for my daughters to look up to! Congrats on the Red Bra Regatta, ladies!” club member Minyang Mao said.

Title needs correcting, it was a regatta hosted by South Beach YC, not Sequoia
Thank you – and done! South Beach runs the regatta, Sequoia YC women raced in the regatta.
