Welcome
to the US Naval Academy
Intercollegiate Sailing Team Web Site!

The
Naval Academy Intercollegiate Sailing Team is consistently one
of the top programs in the country and has a long history of
turning out collegiate All-Americans, College Sailors of the
Year, Olympians, and America’s Cup sailors. The Academy’s Sailing
program has incredible resources which shows the commitment to
build champions and instill a spirit of excellence.
An experienced and
dedicated coaching staff is a mainstay
to the intercollegiate sailing program at the Academy. Navy hosts
the largest regattas in college sailing and can send team members
to as many as five regattas each weekend.
The U.S. Naval Academy
intercollegiate sailing team competes
in the Mid-Atlantic Intercollegiate
Sailing Association (MAISA) and will
sail in over 60 collegiate events each year. MAISA is arguably
the most competitive district in the country, and includes such
schools as Old Dominion University, Georgetown University, the
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the Annapolis
is situated far enough south to allow the team to sail sail late
into the fall and start early each spring giving Navy
a competitive edge during each season. The intercollegiate
sailing team practices five days a week for three hours a day
and competes most every weekend in both the fall and spring.
The intercollegiate
sailing program's fleet of racing dinghies consists of 42 racing
Lasers, 50 training Lasers, 22 420s, 22 Flying Juniors, three
interclub dinghies and four Tech Dinghies. This gives the team
the latitude to focus during practice in a specific boat for
an upcoming event. With such a large fleet, Navy is able to play
host to a multitude of events every year, including two of the
largest college sailing regattas in ICSA, the Navy Fall Intersectional
and the Truxtun Umstead Regatta in the spring. Both regattas
feature four divisions of 20 teams with all divisions racing
at the same time which allows for some very exciting sailing
and spectating.
