High School Sailing

The High School Sailing Program gives students, grades 7—12, an opportunity to practice, race and travel to compete against other high schools. We invite all beginner to advanced level sailors to come and participate in the Midwest Interscholastic Sailing Association (MISSA) with us. At the highest level, high school sailing leads to regional and national competitions, summer race teams and collegiate teams.

Competitive sailing involves fast-paced, short-course team racing, where one-design boats race each other
without any handicaps, starting at the same time, sailing a set course and the winner of each race is the first to cross the finish line scoring points based on finish position with the lowest points winning. Teams compete locally, regionally and nationally in regattas and championships. Learn more about the program.
