Our race programs are geared for students that enjoy fun and competition. We build curriculum that hone boat handling skills so athletes may focus on boat-on-boat tactics and strategy as they negotiate the race course. Our top priorities are to teach the merits of sportsmanship and teamwork; guiding these athletes in lessons that last a lifetime.

The X-Boat Racing program is the hallmark of the Okoboji Sailing Center. This program is designed as a series to promote summer long training for our most advanced race focused sailors.
Typically, our double-handed teams compete for seasonal standings with our partner organization, the Okoboji Yacht Club, as well as throughout the the region in the ILYA attending many off lake regattas where the Okoboji Sailing Center sponsors coaching to our traveling teams.
Our training will include individualized coaching geared to each teams needs. Analysis will be completed via on-the-water data collection, videography, and through our instructor interaction with your team. Coaching observations will be transmitted to each boat program through a secure, online team portal for follow-up review.
This program is split into three sessions throughout the summer and includes a weekday race series and regularly scheduled professional race clinic instruction.
