Is your high schooler interested in sailing team? Consider Whatcom Sailing.

Eligibility

Beginner and intermediate Middle School Students in Whatcom County grades 6-8.  

Cost

Team fee is $400 for the Fall Season.  We do not want cost to be a barrier from participation, our scholarship program can be found here. 

Season / Practices

We practice 2 times a week , rain or shine! Based off interest / availability, we are still determining which days of the week we will host practice.  Our 2023 Fall Season is Sept 5th – Oct 26th. Practices are held at the Community Boating Center on Bellingham Bay and we host practice in our RS Quests and RS Teras.

Required Gear

All sailors are required  to wear a lifejacket with a whistle, which the CBC will provide. There will also be days that we will require a wetsuit (which we can provide) or you won’t be able to sail. We strongly encourage proper gear such as gloves, booties, and no cotton (we have these available as well!). On the days we are not able to sail we will do team workouts, including cardio exercises, team members must always be prepared for running.
