Virginia Sailing has served the sailing community at UVA since 1969. All experience levels are encouraged to come out on Saturdays.
The Sailing Association at UVA is a student-run club sport open to all UVa students of any skill level. We are an active group of sailors interested in racing, recreational sailing, and social events. We sail out of Lake Anna Yacht Club where we keep a fleet of nine Collegiate FJs and one Hobie 16, as well as two, brand new, Carolina Skiffs. RECREATIONAL SAILING
