High School Sailing

Our high school program is run in partnership with the Massachusetts Bay League, an independent organization with more than 25 member schools. During the spring and fall, Community Boating, Inc. opens its docks to over a dozen sailing teams and clubs in the Greater Boston area. These teams practice and race on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings using our fleet of Cape Cod Mercurys and 420s. In addition, regattas involving teams from secondary schools throughout New England are held at CBI on a regular basis.

The focus of the spring season is competitive racing while the fall season is devoted to learning the basics and building skills. All schools wishing to sail at CBI must be members in good standing of the Massachusetts Bay League. In the spring racing season, each team must also have a coach with a US SAILING Level 1 Instructor certification. While we strive to keep high school sailing affordable, there are seasonal fees to join both Community Boating, Inc. and the Massachusetts Bay League.

Prior to sailing, each team should submit, to CBI, a roster on school letterhead certifying that each partipant can swim 75 yards and has the permission of a parent or guardian, a signed contract between the school and CBI, a copy of the school's insurance certificate, a membership application for each student, and payment of or purchase order for the applicable dues and fees.
