Q: I’m a contributor on my team but I don’t finish near the top at regattas. Is there a place for sailing in college for people who aren’t the most competitive sailors but still want to sail and be part of a college team?

Q: My high school doesn’t have a sailing team. Can I still sail in college? How do I prove myself to coaches?

We’ll guide you on communicating your sailing background to coaches and give you advice on how to get recognized without a high school team. We can even give you tips on starting a team at your school.

Q: I live in an area of the country without competitive sailing so I haven’t had access to high level competition or coaching. How do I show coaches I’m good enough to sail in college?

Q: I’ve had some dips in my academic record during high school. Can you help me explain my obstacles and how I’m overcoming them?

A: Absolutely! Colleges look at grade history by year and love to see an upward trend. They also consider the context behind a student’s academic record. We can help you communicate your challenges and demonstrate your maturity and progress.

Q: Can I get recruited to sail in college if I’m a crew and not a skipper?

A: College teams rely heavily on skilled crew. Let’s talk about how you’ll contribute to a college team and prepare you to demonstrate that to coaches.
