Welcome to our High School Sailing Team Site


For Students in Central Kitsap
Our program is available to secondary school students in the CK district.  The season for high school sailing is March through May.  In our 4th year, we have many returning students who attend either CK Junior or CK High.  We welcome students from across the district to join us this year. 

No prior sailing experience is required, except we must limit 7th grade students to those who have taken sailing lessons in either ours or a comparable program.  This is due to limited space in boats and the priority on high school aged students.

Our sailing program is operated through Kitsap County Parks and Recreation.  The Northwest Interscholastic Sailing Association (NWISA) is the organization that governs high school sailing in the region.  Their website lists the teams we compete against and provides a schedule for regional activities.

Practices - Waterfront Park in Silverdale  |  Check Conditions - wind speed and webcam
The specific schedule won't be set until we know who and how many our team will have.  In general practices are Monday through Thursday, 3pm to 6pm.

We always have practice, though we might not actually sail if it's too windy. Practices are important for gaining the skills necessary to sail in Regattas.

Rain and cold do not keep us from sailing. Consequently, sailors must have appropriate gear for sailing in winter conditions.
Gear - what and where to find it

Weekend Regattas
We compete nearly every weekend from the beginning of March until late May or early June.  While attendance at these regattas isn't strictly mandatory, it is the point of the sailing team.  Those sailors who attend most or all of the regattas learn and improve far more than those who miss regattas.
