We are excited to introduce opportunities for motivated junior sailors who want to develop and improve their sailing and racing skills.  We strive to provide a positive and fun environment where sailors will learn advanced techniques and strategies.

We would like to thank the ECSA, Fishers Island YC, The Mystic Shipyard, Mystic River Mudheads, NESS, Niantic Bay YC, Spicers Marina, and the Wadawanuck YC. Without their support, this team would not be possible.

DONATION LINK

The Mudratz provide youth sailors with excellent coaching and the opportunity to race on boats they might otherwise never sail.  Our sailors have skin in the game as we expect our team members to cover most of the costs of coaching and travel expenses.   Here is a snapshot of how we utilize donations.

Tonight marked practice #1 for the MudRatz After Dark program with star coaches 
@annnnieloooongo and Patt Murphy! 

With not much wind, it was mostly floating with lots of safety training. What could be better than a Friday night with you and 7 of your friends on a Melges 24?? 🌙

Thank you Niantic Bay Yacht Club (@nianticbaysailingacademy) for hosting the MudRatz again for an awesome fall season!

The Mudratz sailed their Farr 45 Spitfire across the the finish line in 3 days, 7 hours, and 22 minuets 54 seconds.  They were the first youth team to finish the 2022 Newport to Bermuda Race and in so set a new unofficial Stephens Brothers division youth record previously held by the Young Americans team in their epic 2016 run aboard High Noon in 3 days 16 hours, 27 minutes, 5 seconds.  Overall they unofficially stand at 26th out of 188 teams.
