yachtswoman
She helms yachts
A yachtswoman is a woman who sails or races yachts.
The term emphasizes skill and experience rather than casual boating: She's an accomplished yachtswoman who has competed in three America's Cups.
The gender-neutral alternative is yachtsperson, though yachtsman remains common as a default.
