The Starboard Sea by Amber Dermont

Prep school student and sailor Jason Prosper must navigate his way through the turbulent waters of adolescence, dealing with the hardships of love and loss while completing his junior year. As the dramatic story unfolds, Jason reveals the furtive details of his past — including the suicide of his best friend — and must confront and accept a present in which previous mistakes seem doomed to be repeated before he can move into adulthood.
