Who Are We?
Cal Poly Sailing is the official club sports sailing team at Cal Poly that competes in the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference (PCCSC). Currently the PCCSC's are made up of the following schools: Arizona State University, California Maritime Academy, CSU Channel Islands, Santa Clara University, Stanford University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, University of Hawaii, USC, and of course, Cal Poly. The team is made up of a great group of students who love to be out on the water enjoying the thrill of being on a sailboat. We offer a wide variety of sailing opportunities including highly competitive collegiate regattas, much less competitive local regattas, and fun weekend sailing practices and clinics.
What Do We Sail?
We sail mostly Club FJs (Flying Junior). An FJ is a 14-foot dinghy sailboat with a mainsail and a jib. The boat is crewed by two people and is an excellent platform for learning how to sail, and we use them for competitive sailing in the (Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference) PCCSC.
Other sailboats you may have a chance to sail in:
420s: an established worldwide performance two-person trapeze and spinnaker racing dinghy which holds status as a World Sailing International Class.
Lasers/ILCAs: a class of single-handed, one-design sailing dinghies using a common hull design. It is an international class with sailors in 120 countries, and an Olympic class since 1996.
Keelboats: Larger sailboats that typically crew atleast 3 sailors and generally being atleast 35 feet.
Where Do We Sail?
Cal Poly Sailing participates in Regattas all around the United States. We compete everywhere from San Diego to Washington State, from Hawaii to the East Coast.
For practice and Cal Poly Sailing's annual Mustang Open Regatta, we sail within Morro Bay, situated about 15 minutes north of Cal Poly. We are partnered with Morro Bay Yacht Club and sail out of their facilities.
