Turning Trix
She crews everything from Melges 24s to Maxis, has a racing resumé that the rock stars at your club would envy, has sailed in Worlds, Nationals, and every cool regatta on the West Coast.

Deb Tamburri is clearly the kind of long time racer chick that makes our sport more interesting and fun, competent and good natured, she never needs a well-meaning douche to “take over for the weak link,” nor will she put up with it.

You girls that put up with guys grabbing your ass in the YC bar, refuse to rock the boat when a drunken crew member gropes you at the tent party, say nothing when rail meat decide to pull on lines that are your responsibility, or pretend you’re not on the crew when the skipper’s wife is around: Take note. And maybe send a PM to ‘trix’ if you don’t know how to deal with some dick on the boat. Here’s the already infamous thread.
