Discover the Virginia Sailing racing program, where our collegiate sailors face the heat of competition.  With a focus on CFJ and C420 dinghy sailing, our racers venture up and down the coast to challenge the best competition college sailing has to offer.

If you have prior dinghy racing experience and are looking for rewarding experience on the water, the Virginia Sailing race team is here to welcome you aboard.
