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 was the 2.4mR World Championships held at Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida USA in November of 2022. This event Team Clagett consisted of sailors and a Marek Valasek, a world renowned coach.

In 2022, the members of Team Clagett were 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.

In 2023, Clagett Sailing supported Team Clagett members attending the Para World Championship Regatta in the Hague, Netherlands.

In 2024, Clagett Sailing supported a Team Clagett member who attended the 2.4mR World Championship Regatta in Kiel, Germany.

In 2025, Clagett Sailing will be supporting 5 Team Clagett Members who will be attending the 2.4mR World Championship Regatta in Lake Garda, Italy.

Team Clagett will continue to raise funds for Clagett sailors to attend future national and world championship regattas.
