Bowdoin has a sailing team that is active and ambitious. With 24 sailors on the roster, Bowdoin teams compete in approximately 40 regattas during the fall season, and 20 to 25 in the spring. Bowdoin sailors regularly travel around New England to sail at regattas hosted by Tufts, Dartmouth, Coast Guard, Yale, M.I.T., UVM, Maine Maritime Academy and Harvard, among others. Bowdoin sailors have been climbing in visibility, with top 10 finishes in intersectional regattas this fall, and there is an active and developing focus on team racing in the spring season.

We practice on Quahog Bay in 18 high-performance Larks and 6 FJs. Our home waters are unrivalled for their beauty -- we regularly have seals, herons, and egrets watching our practice, and occasionally a bald eagle will soar overhead. We generally have flat water with some current and 8-12 knot southerlies with some late afternoon shifts, but our site also can serve up strong northerlies with dramatic shifts and flat water, and a sea breeze that lets us sail long legs in waves.

Sailing Coaching Staff

Head coach:

Frank Pizzo

In July of 2008, Bowdoin Athletic Director Jeff Ward announced the hiring of Frank Pizzo '06 as the head coach of the Polar Bear sailing program. Pizzo succeeds Sherry Fowler, who stepped down after three seasons at the helm.

An assistant coach for Bowdoin last spring, Pizzo was the head sailing coach at Columbia University last fall. He was a decorated sailor as an undergraduate at Bowdoin, earning four varsity letters and captaining the team in both his junior and senior campaigns. He was voted the team's Most Valuable Skipper on three occasions (2004-2006) and propelled the team to new heights in both fleet racing and team racing.

During the past two summers, Pizzo was the Program Director and Opti Race Coach at Ida Lewis Yacht Club in Newport, R.I. Prior to Ida Lewis, he was the head instructor at Pequot Yacht Club in Connecticut, where he ran one of the premier junior sailing programs in the country.

Still an active racer, Pizzo completed his second Newport-to-Bermuda Offshore Race in June. A native of Wilton, Connecticut and graduate of Wilton High School, Pizzo graduated from Bowdoin in May of 2006 with a major in Economics and minor in Government and Legal Studies.
