OFFSHORE TEAM SUMMER UPDATE
We are excited to announce that our summer program will be built around our newest boat, SV Mad Blue. This J/105 is the perfect platform for sailors to take their sailing further from the shoreline! Sailors who have previously competed at the sportboat/offshore level are encouraged to participate. A fun schedule of overnight regattas is planned, as well as weekend clinics intended for sailors looking for an introduction to the big boat sailing world. With great fun comes a long worklist, and active participation in boat projects and work days will be required. Sailors have the option to choose between participating in the regatta circuit, just the clinics, or a combination of both. The intended events and their descriptions can be found below. Sailors who are interested in participating should be between 14-23 years old.
Check out the link in our bio for more information! 💙

40 Days till @chsraceweek! (not that we are excited or anything..🤪)
Last time we were at race week, this happened.. So crazy that after 2 years this video is STILL getting shared. On Facebook, the video has been seen over 200,000 times with nearly 4,000 shares. May have been a hair ball ending to our regatta, but it definitely grew our fan base and is still a great story. We are so excited one of our boats will be racing this year! ⛵️
