US Sailing Calendar

Adult and Junior events for 2005 announced

US SAILING has determined its 2005 schedule for Adult and Youth National Championships in the US. The 18 events, which begin in April and continue through November, will be hosted by different yacht clubs across the country and raced in a wide range of classes of boats.

While some participants are selected by their sailing resume, the course to the majority of Championships is either open or based on a ladder structure that begins at the local club level and progresses to regional finals before reaching the National Championship.
