Hoggard Spring Varsity Tryouts
2026-02-14 - 2026-02-15 | Carolina Yacht Club, 401 S Lumina Ave, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480, USA, Wrightsville Beach, NC, United States
Time Frame is 10:00am to 4:00 pm
Email sent on Jan 28th – By Coach Andrew This weekend, Jan 31-Feb 1, was supposed to be our Spring Varsity Tryout. However, the forecasted temperature with water temperature and wind chill is FAR below our allowed threshold. Even supposed to snow Saturday into Sunday NWS. Because of this, we will now move the Tryout weekend to Feb 14-15. This tryout will set the varsity team for NP6, NP7 and District Champs.
For NP5, on Feb 7th, in Jacksonville FL, the Leadership Team and Coaches have decided to not bring any JV Sailors and additional boats for the Hoggard Team. This is because of a combination of how far the drive is, it only being a 1 day event and being able to gather enough parents for this regatta in past seasons. This could change in future years, but for this year, this is what we have decided to do.
For NP5 Hoggard Varsity, the current Varsity Sailors will be reached out first on availability and we will go from there on who is available to bring 4 sailors for that team.
Here are the Sailors who signed up. If you would still like to participate, please sign up here. You have until Feb 10th to sign up.
