More about Varsity Sailing

The sailing team at Portsmouth Abbey encourages students to reach their potential both in the classroom and on the water. Sailors are challenged to become better boat handlers, improve their tactical knowledge and learn how to sail as a member of a team. The sailing Ravens utilize the School's fleet of twelve 420s for practice on Narragansett Bay, honing skills in boat handling, starts and mark roundings as well as team-race and fleet-race specific drills. Off the water, sailors participate in discussions of rules, fleet management, tactics and team race scenarios. The Portsmouth Abbey School Sailing Team coaching staff believes that by providing highly focused, personalized attention on the water and high-intensity repetitions of fundamental skill sets sailors will improve both individually and as a team. The coaches also encourage players to take advantage of the weight room and other fitness facilities on campus to develop their overall athleticism during non-sailing days. The program fosters a healthy respect for coaches, race committees, other competitors and the sport of sailing itself. Previous sailing experience is required.

Recent graduates of the Portsmouth Abbey School Sailing Team have gone on to sail collegiately at notable schools including Brown University, Connecticut College, Villanova University, Dartmouth College, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, St. Mary's College, Georgetown University, College of Charleston and UVM, among others, as well meet with success on the national and international sailing scene, including 2007 graduate Juan Maegli, the Guatemalan 2008 Olympic representative in the Laser class and winner of a Gold Medal at the 2007 Pan-American Games in Hobie-Cats.
