CLUB SPOTLIGHT SAILING

Calvert Hall

Sailing returned this academic year completing two seasons (fall and spring) with a lot of new sailors! The club meets twice a week and competes in weekend regattas. With the guidance and supervision of Baltimore County Sailing Center, students board primarily 420 vessels in teams of two. The 420 is a popular dinghy sailed at schools, club, open, national, and international levels. Our sailors learn everything from basics like tying knots to more advanced maneuvers like roll tacks and overtaking other vessels in competition. Our students work together to improve and build upon their communication and teamwork skills. The sailing team offers students a unique opportunity to learn a lifelong skill while also developing confidence and patience. All students are welcome regardless of prior sailing experience, and the team is always looking to recruit new members. Our goal is to have students experience the thrill of racing on the water while making lasting friendships along the way.
