High Performance Race Team

Service Description

This is for youth who want to be champions in Laser racing and is open to boys and girls aged 12 to 21. Scholarships may be available to defer cost through Tahoe Community Sailing Foundation for youth who need financial help. Please contact me directly to discuss if your child is a candidate for a scholarship. This program is for youth who love sailing and are serious about competing in Laser. Boats are provided which is an incredible cost saving. Athletes are expected to have proper sailing clothing including hiking pants, spray top, hiking boots and a sailing specific life jacket. Training happens Monday through Friday from noon to 5 PM every second week in the summer giving athletes a chance to recover and work on the off weeks. There is also an exciting travel itinerary where we take the team on the road to major Laser Regattas on the West Coast to prepare them for the US Sailing Youth National Championships. Parents are also encouraged to travel with the team and race as well! To join the team, Athletes must complete a week of "Learn to Laser" to confirm that they have basic Laser boat handling skills and that they love the sport. Nick Pullen is the coach for the high performance team and brings decades of international Laser Racing experience to the team.
