From St. Croix to Palma, Spain. ⛵️

Here’s our sailor getting training time on the water and continuing to build experience in one of the world’s great sailing venues.

That’s what youth sailing can open up: confidence, discipline, travel, teamwork, and opportunities to keep growing far beyond the first lesson.

Fall is a great time for young sailors to get started.

Come sail with us at YSA.

Building skills, confidence, and a love for sailing, one boat at a time. ⛵

Fall sailing at STXYSA is a chance for young sailors to get on the water, learn new skills, work as a team, and become part of our St. Croix sailing community.

Interested in getting your child involved this fall? Send us a message to learn more and find the right sailing opportunity for them.

Opti innovation of the day. ⛵️

Talon decided his Opti needed a little extra horsepower, so he made his own spinnaker and rigged it all himself. Kai even jumped aboard as crew for a bit, and suddenly we had a tiny two-person program in action.

These are the moments we love at YSA: curious sailors, big ideas, and plenty of fun on the water.

Future 420 sailors? We can see it.

Day 2 at the 29er UK Nationals. ⛵️

The wind made everyone wait for it, but eventually decided to show up with enough breeze for three good races.

Serena and Thea were back on the water at Hayling Island, making the most of a tricky wind day and keeping the learning going.

Hello from Hayling Island. ⛵️

Serena and Thea spent yesterday training off the Isle of Wight as they prepared for the 29er UK Nationals.

Racing starts today at Hayling Island Sailing Club, a lively venue with plenty of energy and the future home of the 2028 29er Open Worlds.

A great place to learn, compete, and keep building experience on the international stage.

A beautiful moment from Lipno. ⛵️🌈

Between the clouds, the breeze, and that rainbow over the water, this was one of those scenes that captured the spirit of the 2026 29er European Championship.

Serena and Thea took in every part of the experience, on and off the water.

Day 2 in Lipno. ⛵️🌍

No wind? No problem.

When the breeze takes a break, there’s still plenty of room for friendship, team spirit, and soaking in the experience of the 2026 29er European Championship.

Great to see the sailors making the most of every moment on and off the water.
