The New York Interscholastic Sailing Association - Northwest League (NYISA-NW) consists of high school teams from western New York including Canadian schools. It was authorized by vote at the 2004-2005 Winter meeting of the MidAtlantic Scholastic Sailing Association (MASSA), which is a district of the InterScholastic Sailing Association (ISSA). The current member schools are located near Rochester, New York, however schools from other areas of upstate New York can join this league. There are no currently district member schools from Pennsylvania. (New member schools from Pennsylvania may join the most convenient league for them with the approval of the MASSA Board of Directors.)
The director of the Northwest league is Jon Faudree who is associated with the Rochester Yacht Club which has a fleet of 420s that supports high school sailing.
The leagues are members of the MidAtlantic Scholastic Sailing Association and they conduct the majority of sailing opportunities for member schools. They are also in charge of selecting teams to attend the district events.

Zander Kirkland was a top high school sailor at Tabor Academy from 1998-2002. Following high school, he sailed at Tufts University (Medford, MA). Following Tufts, Zander was hired as the head coach of Newport Harbor High School’s 2009 National Championship Team.
Zander left NHHS in 2010 to pursue his Olympic sailing dream with his brother Jesse (another Tabor sailing team graduate), and together they would represent Bermuda in the 49er Class in the 2012 London Olympics.
High School Sailing continues to expand! Just when we thought we had hit our highest number of registered schools, we have exceeded that number. High School sailing continues to be the fastest growing niche in sailing in the United States.
