College Sailing FAQ:
I’m not a Rockstar Sailor – should I even bother contacting the coach?

YES! Coaches recruit for many reasons; you may be the right size, or live in a town where the team
needs housing, have a great reputation as a team player… anything can set you apart from the crowd!

College Sailing Tip by Jay Kehoe - Are you a high school senior applying to college and not sure how to contact the school’s sailing coach? Here are some tips: contact the coach before you come for a visit, send them your sailing resume, personal resume and grades, ask if you can attend a class in a subject that interest you while visiting, put together a careful letter to the coach explaining why you are interested in their school, look at schools that interest you BEYOND sailing, and remember to send a thank you note after your visit.
