College
Sailing Programs
College sailing began on an informal, club basis in the 1890’s, and organized racing
started in 1928. It has grown to include more than 200 active colleges, and racing now
occurs on every weekend during fall and spring seasons and on many weekends during
the winter. It is a truly coeducational sport, and it has proved itself the best incubator for
the development of racing skills. Former college sailors have always numbered significantly among Olympic medalists and America’s Cup competitors. College Sailing is growing
throughout the Northwest. Information on a national and regional level, as well as contact
information for each school, can be found at the college sailing web sites listed below.
