Team Clagett

 ABOUT TEAM CLAGETT

Team Clagett was established in 2020 as a means of providing selected Clagett sailors the opportunity to experience training and racing at National and World Championship sailing events. The first Team Clagett event will be the 2.4mR World Championships held at Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida USA in November of 2022. For this event Team Clagett will consist of sailors and a world renowned coach. Team Clagett will continue to raise funds for Clagett sailors to attend future national and world championship regattas. The members of Team Clagett will be chosen based on the top three finishers with a disability at the C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta (Clagett Newport) in Newport, RI plus the next highest placing boat grant recipient.
