who we are

About LISOT

LISOT provides world class training for highly motivated junior sailors who want to develop and hone their racing skills. Our six years of proven success in the Optimist class and two years with the 420 class have achieved remarkable results; and we launched a Laser program in 2008 that's really taking off.

We’re a completely open and inclusive team with sailors from all around LI Sound and the NY Metro area. Any aspiring sailor who has completed an advanced racing program and wants to improve his or her racing skills are welcome to sail with us in a positive and fun environment. Sailors do not need to be a member of a yacht club. There is no membership fee nor long term commitments. You can sail as much or as little as you like.

Our low coach to sailor ratios offer both individualized attention and the opportunity to sharpen your skills by sailing with top junior sailors at competitive training sessions.

Many of our sailors have National and International Regatta experiences, so the practices provide a strong learning and competitive environment for everyone. We have a formal mentoring program for sailors who are new to racing at the national level.

LISOT also has an active team racing program for Opti's - LISOT has represented the US at two prestegious international regattas in Berlin, Germany and Venice, Italy each year since 2006. Whether you're just learning how to team race, want to do it more often, or compete on the international level - team race practices are posted on the schedule.

LISOT sailors have the opportunity to sail year round - over 100 days each year, including weekend practices, clinics and an active regional, national and international regatta schedule.
