High School Sailing Kick Off

The winter weather seems to keep hanging around this year, more vigilant than ever it seems. No matter, our High School Sailors are up to the task and determined to face the cold weather challenges and begin their season! This was our first week of practices and the kids have been as enthusiastic as ever. Our wide range of skill levels gives everyone a chance to be a teacher. Our 420's and coaches are raring to get the season off to a fast start and we can't wait to get plugged into the regatta circuit. It is going to be a great season!


Check out a video from today's practice - the basics of tacking from the crew's perspective and getting into safety position.
