Spring Sailing – Upper School

The Episcopal Sailing program trains at the Florida Yacht Club on the St. Johns River, giving student-athletes opportunities to develop their skills and compete against sailing programs throughout Florida, the Southeast, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

During the 2025–2026 season, the Eagles finished seventh in the SAISA North Points District, qualified for the SAISA District Championship, and captured the 2026 Battle of the River title against Bishop Kenny High School.

The program combines competitive sailing with a close-knit team environment, building teamwork, strategy, endurance, and confidence. Through practices, regattas, team traditions, and Senior Night, Episcopal Sailing celebrates athletic and academic achievement while fostering a lifelong connection to the water.
