Open to Nantucket High School Students
Nantucket Community Sailing provides the Nantucket High School Sailing Team with sailboats, coach boats, safety equipment, and uniforms. The program aims to develop Nantucket sailors into high school and collegiate level team racers. In team racing, not just speed, but tactics, communication, and finishing as a team result in victory. Throughout the spring season Nantucket competes against 13 other schools from Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and South East MA. The most successful sailors on the team have all started building their skills sailing in NCS summer programs. Many of our sailors are continuing their racing careers at UVM, MIT, URI, BC and BU.
If you have a sailor interested in sailing with the team please contact NCS at: (508) 228-6600 or registration@nantucketsailing.org

New Enhanced NHS Scholarship
Nantucket Community Sailing (NCS) will fully fund up to eight weeks of tuition — minus a $100 family commitment — for eligible NHS Sailing Team members enrolled in NCS summer programs, including 420 Green, 420 Blue, or the 420 All-Island Race Team. Funding is first-come, first-served and subject to availability.
Register online through NCS and pay only the $100 deposit — NCS covers the rest directly through our scholarship program.
Eligibility: Active NHS Sailing Team participants during the preceding spring season, as determined by the Head Coach.
Additional funding for off-island travel may be available for All-Island Race Team members.
Eligible sailors ages 13–16 are encouraged to apply for the NCS Volunteer Instructor-in-Training (IIT) Program — roughly 40 hours over seven weeks, with a pathway to future employment as an NCS instructor.
