Dragon Sailing Team

Dragon Sailing Team VX One sailing team based out of Newport, RI Based out of Mystic, CT, we exist for the young and the old that want to be better sailors and racers.

Dragon Sailing Team is a sailing program aimed at getting racing oriented youth and young adults on the water and teaching new sailors that want to learn to race. We participate in ECSA sanctioned events and actively compete in 50 races and events in the Fisher's Island Sound area every season. Backed by the non-profit American Legion, and partnered with the Sea Scouts and Boy Scouts of America, w

e are a 501(c) non-profit by association and teach nautical skills and merit badges to any registered scouter. We don't focus on the amount of silver in our trophy cabinet, but instead we are a team that focuses on the values of good seamanship, excellent leadership, and the dedication and drive to always improve yourself. Or in other words, we will not go down without a fight.

Moving quick around the island yesterday!
We are finally back in business with our first event around the island yesterday.
The 2020 IYAC Newport Cup was a 18.2 mile ride around the island, where we came 2nd in class and ~9th overall.

I think we can all agree that this has been a crazy year.
We were supposed to be celebrating our 10 year anniversary in April, and then the world went to hell. Plans changed, some drastically, and some others not for the better.
It’s late June and we still haven’t been sailing. We didn’t know if there was even going to be a team let alone a sailing season this year... until today.
Dragon is officially still standing, but not without some big changes.
Even after ten years, I still can’t tell you what’ll happen to us tomorrow, but I do know one thing, we hold onto our motto and let it drive us forward... always.
“We Will Not Go Down Without A Fight”.
We’ll see y’all on Monday.

TEN YEARS TO THE DAY!
Talk about a ..
On April 23, 2010, Amanda and I began the Northeast Regional Sailing Championship in Toms River, NJ. As a qualifier for the 2010 W.I. Koch International Cup, only the top team had the guarantee of going forward. With a lack of preparation, practice, and a coach (only our power boating dads came down with us), I felt like we were on the tail end of the group. Little did I know until the end of the regatta, we were actually the best team there. We secured our berth to the Koch Cup by a landslide, and unofficially launched what would become Dragon Sailing Team.

As 2019 draws to a close in a few hours, I find myself reflecting on the decade. Dragon Sailing was founded in the spring of 2010, which means we are bringing our first decade as a team to a close.
There were so many things that happened by luck, chance, or hard work that we accomplished, and so many other things that happened because people saw something in us. From starting the team as a Sea Scout learn to sail camp, to winning Quantum Sails “To The Ultimate Challenge”, and then 2017 Worlds, and finally starting a VX One program, I am amazed at what we accomplished. Never in my wildest dreams did I think things would go the way they did, but I couldn’t be happier.
So here’s to another decade of fun sailing, good times, and unexpected surprises. #2020
