Club Mission

The Penn Sailing Team is a community of athletes from all backgrounds and accepts members with no prior experience every year! The team works hard in the gym and gets to spend at least 3 days a week on the water at practice, and many weekends traveling for regattas. The Penn Sailing Team is an undergraduate student group at Penn.

The team has a long-standing tradition of fun and competitive sailing. During both seasons, we have a full weekend regatta schedule of intercollegiate races. We are part of MAISA (Mid-Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association) and sail both in-conference and out-of-conference races as an open and women's teams.

Our fall season begins when school starts in September and lasts until early November. In spring, we begin practicing in March and continue to the end of school. Practices are Tuesdays through Friday. We meet at 3:30 and get back to campus by 7:15pm.
