Women's Only team is planning to take part in the RC44 World Championship series at the second round of the 2013 season which will be held in Sicily from 1st to 5th of May. The project is headed by Russian Ekaterina Zhilina and Carolyn Heerema from Denmark.

Girls will train in Puerto Calero (Canary Islands) in winter and will hold several rounds of selection of yachtswomen for the competition.

The introduction of the women's team has been made possible as a result of an amendment to the RC44 class rules adopted at the final regatta of the 2012 season in Croatia. As a result, the maximum combined weight of an all-female crew is 740kg. This is 60 kilograms more than similar limit for male or mixed crew. At the same time in RC44 class there is no limit on the number of sailors.
