The Southwest Sailboat-Racing Club

The Southwest Sailboat-Racing Club

The sailing team accepts everyone from expert sailors to those who have never been on a boat. The goal of the team is to develop an understanding of sailing fundamentals, racing strategies, and a general enjoyment of sailing. Sailors who have progressed to racing level can compete weekly in local and/or regional regattas while earning a varsity letter. The sailing team uses 420s, which are a 2-person boat. Come with a partner or get paired up with a similarly skilled sailor at the club.

Who is it for? Any 8th through 12th grade student can join. Sign up individually and be paired with another sailor, or gather a team from your school. Sailing experience is helpful but a desire to sail is the only requirement.
