WSC SAIL TEAM
WSC YOUTH RACE TEAM
The Youth Race Team is where fun meets competition on the water! Designed for young sailors who want to build skills while enjoying the excitement of racing, this program emphasizes participation, teamwork, and confidence as much as performance. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of sailing while introducing athletes to the fundamentals of competitive dinghy racing.
Running two days per week throughout the season, the program provides boats, equipment, expert coaching, and full logistical support—so sailors can focus on learning, improving, and having fun. Whether participants are new to racing or looking to sharpen their skills, the Youth Race Team offers a supportive and motivating environment to grow both as sailors and individuals.
