PRACTICE
High school teams practice two days a week and race one day a week from 3:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Teams are broken up into practice groups. Depending on a sailor’s school, he/she will be placed into either a Monday/Wednesday practice group or a Tuesday/Thursday group. All sailors come to race day on Fridays, where their team competes each week in an A/B divisional/rotational format. Results are posted online weekly so that teams can chart progress.
SEASONS
High School Sailing has two seasons, fall and spring. Sailors sign up for each season separately, and most do both seasons. The fall season begins in early September and runs through mid-November. The spring season begins in mid-March and goes until late May. Having seasons that extend into the colder months allows us to compete with teams in the south and in the west, which can sail year round.
GEAR
Sailors are required to wear a Coast Guard approved PFD (lifejacket). A wetsuit or drysuit is required when the air and water temperature add to below 120 degrees (spring season mostly). Important gear may include, though is not restricted to, performance fleece layers, cold weather sailing gloves, winter hats, neoprene sailing boots, and foul weather gear. For more information on gear please talk to the coaches.
