Race Team Training

We offer 3 different classes of sailing Opti, Laser, & C420. We welcome everyone to be a part of the team. We have a full-time coach that helps our Jr sailors to achieve their goals, grow, and feel confident in their sailing abilities. There are 11 Regattas that our sailors have the opportunity to go to around Texas (6 local to DFW) throughout the year.

Check out our practice calendar here.
