Sacred Heart is a member of the WNY High School Sailing Program, sponsored by the Buffalo Yacht Club. 

 

PRACTICE

High school teams practice two days a week and race one day a week from 3:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Teams are broken up into practice groups. Depending on a sailor’s school, he/she will be placed into either a Monday/Wednesday practice group or a Tuesday/Thursday group. All sailors come to race day on Fridays, where their team competes each week in an A/B divisional/rotational format. Results are posted online weekly so that teams can chart progress. 

SEASONS

High School Sailing has two seasons, fall and spring. Sailors sign up for each season separately, and most do both seasons. The fall season begins in early September and runs through mid-November. The spring season begins in mid-March and goes until late May. Having seasons that extend into the colder months allows us to compete with teams in the south and in the west, which can sail year round.
