It’s not about the boat

Intensive small-boat training camps, building your skills to excel in any fleet

Sea to Sky Sailing has built a reputation as a provider of premier training across all disciplines… but our heart has always been firmly in the racing world. It’s a world where it’s far too easy to get caught up in the arms race to have the newest sails, the fastest boats, the most optimized rating, and alllll the carbon. Yes, this is part of what wins races. But underneath all that carbon and debt, still needs to be a rock hard core of skill and experience.

That is what we’re here to develop. It’s Not About The Boat. It’s about YOU, and your ability to produce the fastest boats speed, the best tactical decisions, and the most consistent performance time after time.

We’re going back to our roots as dinghy sailors and appreciators of doing ambitions things with little boats (see Race to Alaska 2018!), and launching It’s Not About The Boat across multiple venues using various fleets. Join us for a week of high level coaching and one design racing to build your racing skills into a solid slab of excellence on which to build your next season.
