Beginner, Intermediate and Racing classes in Optimist sailing dinghies and Club 420 Sailing dinghies.

Welcome to Ipswich Junior Sailing

Ipswich Junior Sailing offers sailing lessons to all youth ages 8 to 16.  The program is located at Ipswich Bay Yacht Club and sails in Plum Island Sound.  Ipswich Junior Sailing, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and welcomes all students of any race, color, religion, or national origin.  Scholarships are also available based on need, among other criteria.

Ipswich Junior Sailing uses 14 Optimist dinghies and 8 Club 420 dinghies.  These boats are the choice of sailing programs nationwide because they are sturdy on which to learn while providing enough challenge to keep competitive racers engaged. All sailors are grouped by age and abilities.  Our racing program offers experienced sailors an opportunity to participate in local and regional regattas such as Marblehead Junior Race Week.

As Ipswich Junior Sailing celebrated our successful 2023 season, the feeling of community was widespread this morning. A fun time was had by all sailors, both the race team and other students, on a beautiful, very windy day! Some played games on the lawn and under the tent while others sailed in the bay, and it was even too windy that no races were held.
Lots of great food, and of course, the traditional IJS end of season cake! Sailors, some parents and families as well as board members got to hear about the program, season, and awards. (Even the local newspaper made an appearance!) Thank you to all participants and everyone who made this event as successful as it was! See you next week for our final week of the year!
To everyone who sailed this year at IJS, a huge thank you for making your instructors summer fun, and hopefully you had a lot of fun too! Hope to see everyone next summer!
