Columbia Sailing School is proud to host one of the largest high school sailing programs in the Midwest district (MISSA). Over the years, the Sailing School’s program had grown to host over 80 sailors with both a Varsity and Junior Varsity division. The Fall Season begins in September and runs through November; the Spring Season runs from March through May. The program consists of the following established teams: U of C Lab School, Lane Tech College Prep, Whitney Young, Lyons Township, Jones College Prep, and Lincoln Park High School. 

​

Our Varsity Team is for the more experienced sailors at our schools, sailing in local, regional, and national regattas. Our JV/Developmental Team is for sailors still refining their skills, and they have the opportunity to compete in local events and scrimmages. To be on the Varsity team, you must have previous experience and be approved by the On the Water Director.

 

If you are interested in sailing in our Opti Green RWB Program, you must have your own boat. If you do not have your own boat and are interested, contact dalton@columbiasailingschool.org.
