About High School Sailing

High School sailing closely parallels the collegiate sailing format. For fleet racing, teams are divided into A and B divisions comprising of different skippers and crews for each division. A team may substitute sailors as long as prescribe substitution rules are followed. Courses tend to be relatively short emphasizing starts and tactics. Teams also participate in Team Racing events where each team fields three boats to sail against three boats from another team. In team racing teammates work together to outmaneuver the other team so that their combined race scores are better than the other team’s combined scores.

Charleston sailing teams are part of the South-Atlantic Scholastic Sailing Association (SAISA) District. Teams participate in a number of regattas throughout the seasons which run from September to November and March to May. The end of each season culminates in a District Championship and in the spring, for those teams that qualify, the National Fleet Racing Championship (Mallory Cup) and National Team Racing Championship (Baker Cup).

Teams attend local events and travel to venues requiring overnight stays several times a season. Organization of all local and overnight trips is the responsibility of team captains and parents.

James Island Charter

From The Coach

“Our current group of sailors got started by forming a team at James Island Middle School and has sailed together for several years. We are one of the newer teams to the area and are still getting our feet wet. Our goal is to make the Division Championships in our first year as an official team. We are made up of sailors with varying levels of experience. We have some that have raced for years and we have some that have stepped on a sailboat for their first time this year. Experience is not a must. Just a desire to be in a team atmosphere and swimming ability. We’ll try to provide the rest.”

“Practice hard and have fun. Get on the water as often as possible.”

-Coach Ryan Hamm
