The Sail Chicago Racing Program is designed for sailors who want to continue learning through hands-on experience, teamwork, and healthy competition. It’s an extension of our instructional mission — but it goes beyond what we teach in our classes. Participants will learn advanced skills like spinnaker handling, close-quarters maneuvering, and racing rules. Every race is an opportunity to grow as a sailor.
We take racing seriously — we aim to sail well, compete hard, and develop a culture of accountability and respect on the water. We expect everyone to come ready to learn, show up prepared, and support their teammates. There’s no room for ego, but plenty of room for challenge, camaraderie, and fun.
