The Mudhead Spring Seminar is featuring our own Laura Grondin, Rolex Yacht Woman of the year, as speaker.

Refreshments will be provided. RSVP required with a $10 donation. The following bio is from the US Sailing site:
Laura Grondin – Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year
Laura Grondin proved herself a formidable competitor in the world of sport keelboats in 2025 with her team Dark Energy. Grondin made history as the first female helm to win the J/70 World Championship this past year, with the title coming down to the last moments of the final race. Grondin also finished second at the Melges 24 World Championship, overcoming a collision and two DNFs early in the regatta. This is her first Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year win, although she was named a nominee in 2021 and 2022.
Outside her accomplishments in 2025 for which she was awarded the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year, Grondin has had prior success in the J/70 fleet, finishing third at the World Championship in 2021 and 2023. She is a former International Melges 24 Class Chair and is one of the class’s most accomplished female owner-drivers, consistently demonstrating competitive excellence and leadership both on and off the water.
“The Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Awards represent the very highest standard of excellence in our sport,” remarked Charlie Enright, US Sailing CEO. “Having been fortunate enough to receive this honor myself, I know how meaningful it is—not just as recognition of results, but as acknowledgment of the dedication, teamwork, and resilience required to succeed at the highest level of sailing. This year’s winners truly exemplify what makes American sailing world-class.”
