Sailing Program | Stony Brook School, Long Island NY

The Stony Brook School offers a co-ed sailing program with Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Learn to Sail teams, competing in both fall (late August–mid-November) and spring (March–early June) seasons. Over 30+ years, the program has evolved into a competitive force at district and national levels.

Sailing is a year-round sport, with a winter program meeting three days a week—two in the gym and one in the classroom for rules, speed, tactics, and mental prep. While not for athletic credit, this training gives us a competitive edge for spring. The team also competes in the Rose Bowl Regatta in California each January and spends February break training in St. Croix, USVI, maximizing preparation with ideal conditions.

Our racing fleet consists of 18 Zim model E420s purchased in the spring of 2019 and 6 FJ's. As well we have 2 Alberg 30's, "Seawind and Mariner", for our learn to sail program and Alumni as well as a J80, "Kingfisher", for racing. Our coach boats consist of a FarEast 580 rib, 2 17' Boston Whalers, 20' Eastern and a 24' Grady White. Our fleet is stored on a 200'floating dock in the SouthEast corner of Port Jefferson Harbor.  
 
Our coaching staff consists of 7 coaches to facilitate all levels of sailing and to ensure safe and efficient sailing. Our 2 Varsity coaches bring much needed and diverse skills to be able to train the top level sailors to their top potential while we have 3 faculty coaches who aid in the JV and Learn to Sail teams and our program directors fill in gaps among all of the levels.
