A two-season sport at Tabor, the sailing team boasts roughly fifty sailors from all four grades. The school is a member of the New England Schools Sailing Association (NESSA), which emphasizes team racing. Sailing practices four days a week on Sippican Harbor in the school’s eighteen collegiate 420s and six FJs, and typically competes on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tabor’s sailing program is consistently one of the top programs in the country and competes regularly for the New England Championship as well as the Baker Trophy (Sailing National Championship).
Tabor’s science curriculum is enhanced by courses devoted to the study and care of the ocean. The Marine and Nautical Science (MANS) Center, built in 2005, is situated in a beautiful salt marsh directly on Sippican Harbor. The facility, including the Schaefer Wet Lab, is a perfect place to study marine biology. The curriculum begins with Biology of the Oceans, biology taught through an ocean-oriented lens.
