The below scheduling is for our competitive High School team which competes in both the spring and fall seasons each year. For non-competitive sailing programs, please visit our Programs page. Optis may also race on their own line during non-ISSA events.
HIGH SCHOOL SAILING TEAM
High school students will learn to sail or improve their competitive skills to race in regattas against other school/state teams. Teens will sail with a focus on our Z420 fleet. All local area high school students are welcome to join the team! Non-high school age students may join the team but will be limited on which scheduled regattas they may participate. Students do not need any prior sailing experience; first-time sailors joining the team pay $0 since they will qualify for our scholarship program.
A school needs 4 sailors to form a full team – once created, the school can wear their own pinnies (school colors & logo) and have their team officially registered with ISSA (InterScholastic Sailing Association). Sailors can always sail and compete with other sailors from different schools under a ‘Mixed’ team but cannot qualify for ISSA regional or national regattas.
Opti Racing Program
Our Opti racing team is comprised of individuals ages 8-13 with sailing experience who wish to compete in the regional Opti circuit. Must have your own boat, or charter, and make your own travel arrangements. We provide coaching during our Opti programs as well as coaching and guidance at regattas.
Click on each individual name to Register in ClubSpot if you wish to attend. Each regatta has entry fees that are paid to the host club.
