Mission Statement

The University of Texas Sailing Team is a nationally competitive under-grad club sport. Our goal is to expand the love and knowledge of competitive sailing throughout the University community and our conference at large. Some team members come in with a vast knowledge base of experience, while some members join the team with little or no experience and with determination and devotion they become highly competitive sailors.
