Training philosophy

Elite discipline without the ego.

Our approach is designed to develop lifelong self-sufficiency, grit, and drive. No old school yelling or tear-downs consistent with our PNW style.

We recognize success requires deep, intrinsic motivation, so we forgo traditional selection methods like resumes. Instead, we seek out sailors and families who demonstrate consistency and genuine dedication.

Sailing around the world

Global experiences make better sailors.

Each pin is a venue where our sailors have trained or raced. Seeing how other programs coach and compete shows there’s more than one way — so they can learn widely and choose what works best for them.
