HS/MS Sailing is open to young people from the 6th to 12th grades.

Our JV/Varsity teams belong to the Maryland Interscholastic Sailing Association (MDISA) and compete in weekend regattas with other HS teams from our league. The league stretches from the Upper Bay to the Eastern Shore to Southern Maryland and is populated with over 25 different sailing teams. The national organization is the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) and governs our participation in sailing regattas. There are regional and national competition events run by ISSA. More information on those organizations is available at www.issa.org.

Regattas are exciting opportunities to put your expertise to work! Coaches will work out who goes where based on our progress, participation and prowess.

SMSA membership is required to participate. The Junior membership can be added during registration if you are not already a 2025 full year member. Membership years starts 1 April or After the Spring HS/MS season.

Students are responsible for their personal sailing gear (wetsuits, PFD, and helmet are required. Gloves and booties recommended.) Based on water/air temperatures (combined air and water < 120 deg), wetsuits will be required towards the beginning of the spring season and may be required at the end of the fall season.
