LEMWOD
Linda Elias, one of Southern California’s most successful female sailboat racers, passed away on January 3, 2003 after a nine year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 52.
A winner of the Peggy Slater “Yachtswoman of the Year Award” she raced the Transpac in 1989, 1991, 1993 and 1999. Her women’s sailing team is three time champion of the Women’s One Design Challenge sponsored by LB/LA Women’s Sailing Association and Long Beach Yacht Club.
The event was renamed in her honor: Linda Elias Memorial Women's One Design (LEMWOD) Regatta.
The Linda Elias Memorial Women's One Design (LEMWOD) website is a labor of love. We love the sailing community and we love that groups get together to raise money for such worthy causes. To honor the memory of Linda Elias, we used the teal color pallett for ovarian cancer.
Blast Reach Communications also designed the logo for the event and manages the web site.
