QA windIN THE sails friends ON THE water

TELLING HIS STORY, sailing coach Brian Kamilar recounts how he has been sailing for nearly 30 years and that he still competes at international levels. “I have been competing for 30 years, but to join the team, you do not need to have vast experience on the water. I have had students really thrive in the sport who have never touched a sail before,” Kamilar said.

TEAMWORK. Freshmen Maximilian Suess and his brother senior Leopold Seuss work as a pair to steer their sailboat, despite the rough winds. In sailing, the condition of the weather changes the entire experience, but they have trained for almost every possible day. “It was super windy this practice, so it took a lot more strength to maintain a good direction,” Max said.

GUIDING THE WAY, sophomore Benjamin Pasquier looks ahead to make sure he and his boatmate have a clear path in the waves. “It is important to keep your eyes peeled for anything that might be in your path. This helps avoid me from keeping the boat from flipping or crashing,” Pasquier said. Photo by Fox Mar

Being one of the only girls on the team is kind of hard at times, but it is still a super fun time when we get to compete.”
