Community Perks
At UCSC Community Boating Center, being apart of our community is about more than just boats. We offer opportunities for learning, racing, and connecting with fellow sailors. Everyone is welcome to join!
Santa Cruz Women Sailing
Santa Cruz Women’s Sailing (SCWS) is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to creating accessible, supportive sailing opportunities for women of all experience levels.
Our organization was founded by sailors who first connected through the UC Santa Cruz boating program, and we continue to enjoy a close and valued partnership with them. At the same time, Santa Cruz Women’s Sailing operates as an independent nonprofit, allowing us to expand access and better support our growing community.
Through hands-on instruction and a collaborative environment, we aim to build confidence, skills, and a lasting connection to the water.

Exciting events for sailors of all levels! Join us for friendly competition on the water, connect with fellow boating enthusiasts, and celebrate the joy of sailing.
Our events are open to members and non-members alike. Regattas are held on the last Saturday of every month, followed by a potluck and prizes. Don’t miss the fun, camaraderie, and thrill of the race!
Student Sail

Team members participate in training sessions, practice races, and local regattas, building skills, confidence, and friendships on the water.
