High School Sailing is poised to begin for 2019. HS Sailing is open to young people from the 7th to 12th grades who reside and would attend school in Calvert County. Student are eligible whether public, private, or home schooled. Students from out of Calvert County can always participate in the coaching and practices – competition may be limited based on the rules of the sailing association that governs our competitions.
Our 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.
The Patuxent team is HOSTING a Varsity high school regatta on April 14th! More information will be presented at the info meeting on March 5th. Parent volunteers will be needed to help with support. SMSA will manage the racing, but we need your help to pull off all the other things that must happen.
Spring Regattas This season the team is signed up for both junior varsity and varsity regattas. And there is a LADIES regatta scheduled for May 4 at Tred Avon.
