Set Sail: The FJ Racing Fleet (21 boats)
MIT hosts more intercollegiate regattas than any other school in the country. Our coed and women's sailing teams are repeatedly top contenders in New England as well as on the National Circuit. MIT's Varsity Sailing competes across all Divisions I-III and is a two season sport. In 2018 the MIT Team won the coed National Dinghy Championship and also won both A and B Divisions in that regatta. In 2019 the Women's Sailing Team were New England Champions.
Our squads are still a mix of experienced youth sailors and walk-on MIT students who are excited to learn the intricacies of racing dinghies and joining a supportive and dynamic community of undergrad students.
The FJs are the primary vessel for learning and developing racing skills and quite often are pushed hard in breezes up to 55 knots.
Naming
New FJ naming rights are $12,500 each, or $37,500 for three. Each block of three has the same color - a great way to contribute with your classmates!
