Welcome to WWU Sailing
A Little Bit About Us
The Western Washington University Sailing Team is a competitive college racing team. We are a club sport but compete in the same league as varsity programs, so we strive for that level of skill and dedication in our program.
We are an open, inclusive group that focuses on sailing education for the love of the sport. Despite being a student-run sports club, our team competes regainoally against varsity programs such as Stanford and Cal Maritime. We are proud to have sent both our Co-Ed and Women teams to College Sailing Nationals in the past and strive to be competitive both locally and nationally.
Even though our team is highly competitive, we accept all sailors regardless of ability. We have found over the years that enthusiasm and a willingness to learn go a long way. Many of the sailors that joined the team with limited sailing experience are now among our top competitors for Pacific Coast and Nationals Qualifier regattas.
