Bates College Sailing Team has been a part of Bates for over 40 years. We are a competitive club that races against Division I teams from around New England, The team finished 2008/9 ranked 17th in New England. The team is growing fast; now with close to 30 members, including our largest freshman class yet; new sails 2 years ago; a brand new fleet of 12 FJs for the 2007/8 season; and a home venue at Taylor Pond Yacht Club in Auburn, ME.

The team also offers recreational sailing and instruction for the Bates community.

 

Bates Sailors placed second in the Hewitt, but headed back two weeks later to win the Welllehan!
