(tossing up the grammar of the title )
It is correct but could also be Women Skipper's Regatta
Last Sunday the Port Melbourne Yacht CLub held a regatta for women to take the helm on boats rather than just as crew I did not sail but hosted it as Vice Commodore. It was a White Ribbon sponsored fund-raising event so $10 of the $40- entry feed went to the White Ribbon Campaign.

White Ribbon is an organisation that works to prevent male violence against women. It is a male-led campaign that believes that most men are good and that good men abhor such violence. White Ribbon also believes in the capacity of the individual to change and to encourage change in others.stop violence against women.
