MPA has a highly competitive and successful sailing team! MPA sailors have competed at the regional, national, and collegiate levels annually for many years. No experience or boat is needed to join, and all are welcome from grades five through 12. Sailing is a lifelong sport that is both technical and physical, and it is a great way to make friends from MPA and other schools.
