Our fall season begins when school starts in September and lasts until Thanksgiving. In the spring, we begin practicing in mid-March and continue to the end of school. Practices are Monday through Thursday because we are often traveling on Fridays. Because we are a club sport, team members are not required to attend all practices, but are encouraged to do so. Most sailors come to practice three times a week because of scheduling conflicts. Typically we meet at 3:30 and drive to the Yacht Club and are out on the water by 4:15. Practice wraps up no latter than 6:45 and we are back on campus around 7:15. We have regattas every weekend during the season and often send teams to different competitions on the same weekend.
