420 Race Team Week 8 - Blue Hill, ME 2026

420 Race Team emphasizes having fun in a competitive atmosphere while building racing and teamwork skills, and preparing for regattas. Team members will practice together at KSEA and participate in weekly KSEA Race Day regattas. Team travel for "away" regattas is based upon capacity and is at the coach's discretion. Boats are provided. When committing to the race team, sailors are strongly encouraged to sign up for as many weeks as possible to maximize skill development and team cohesion. When planning your summer, please consider a minimum of 2 to 3 week commitment to the race team. It is unlikely sailors/racers joining us for a short time will be invited to travel with the KSEA team, but they will still have an opportunity to compete in weekly KSEA summer series race days. We will do our best to work with your family if your schedule is somewhat limited, but please email the program director to discuss. Note regarding travel regattas: Additional expenses for travel regattas include regatta registration fees, plus food, lodging and travel that are shared between the families of sailors who travel each particular event. Travel expense support may be available. Desired parent/caregiver involvement: 1) contributions to weekly KSEA Race Day Tea provisions; 2) driving and/or chaperoning to ensure safe and fun travel regattas. Prerequisites: Cruising 420s (or equivalent), a desire to improve as a racer, and coach approval. Maturity of ability to work as one member of a two-person boat is included in the assessment of readiness for race team. Sailors who have 420 or other double-handed dinghy racing experience, but who have not sailed in the KSEA program, please email your sailing resume to kseaprogramdirector@gmail.com. Monday through Friday: 1230 - 1530 Fee: $265 per week
