Sailing
WashU Sailing is a fun and inclusive environment that welcomes sailors of all skill levels. Beginners will be taught sailing basics while advanced sailors will practice fine-tuning their racing skills. All practices and regattas work to build community and foster a love of the sport. Our community prides itself on being open and friendly to all and is a great way to meet amazing people while learning a life-long skill. Those who are interested in the competitive aspect of sailing get the opportunity to travel around the Midwest for MCSA regattas.
