HIGH SCHOOL SAILING - A GROWING SPORT
Some HYC members may not be aware of a thriving high school sailing program in our area. 

Known as Virginia Interscholastic Sailing Association, VISA has helped local high schools organize highly competitive regattas in the Spring and Fall. These teams are also a part of Mid-Atlantic Sailing (MASSA) and compete with 54 member high schools from Virginia north to New York.  Many of the schools award letters for the sport, with Poquoson being the most recent local addition, which provides a high level of support for their team.  Many of our HYC Juniors are avid participants in this program. 

Usually a season consists of six regattas.  The Spring season starts in March, with most of the regattas at NYCC & Christ Church School.  If you see some 420 sailors headed out into the cold for practice, it's probably one of the three teams that sail from HYC: Hampton Roads Academy, Kecoughtan or Poquoson.
