The objective of High School sailing is to practice and race at the High School level, with an emphasis on advanced skills and high intensity training in the Collegiate FJ class.  With the opportunity to practice on a consistent basis, students will have the ability to improve rapidly, and prepare for future sailing in college and elsewhere.  Practices will be geared predominantly towards racing, but may include training of new crews and team members, when necessary.
