Sailing Club & Race Team
Sail with us
Who
Middle school and high school students living on San Juan Island or attending any school on SJI. Exceptions are possible; see the contact information below to inquire.
What
After-school sailing programs:
Learn to Sail (LTS), for those totally new to sailing, needing a refresher, or needing more experience and confidence; sailors will be sailing RS Teras, Laser’s and V15s
Development (Dev), for those with sailing experience needing to work on improving technique; this will be for sailors who are beyond LTS and are aiming to improve their skills; sailors will be sailing V15s and Lasers
Varsity, High School Racing team, for those committed to racing in regional regattas and training multiple days per week; sailors will be sailing FJs and Lasers
When you register, please let us know which program you prefer, but know that the coaches will ultimately need to make the final determination for safety and pedagogical reasons, and will also likely move sailors among the groups as the season progresses.
Where
Jackson Beach, at the net shed at the far end of the beach. This facility is owned by the Port of Friday Harbor and we use it without charge, which helps us keep our tuition down. Please thank the Port Commissioners for this community service when you can.
Regattas
The Varsity team (and for invited sailors ready for competition) will be competing at some of the regattas currently listed on the REGATTAS page. Some of these are middle-school development regattas, and are for sailors new to racing and in the Dev program. This list will be refined after the sailor-parent meeting, when we identify who’s interested.
