Instruction
As education and training have been two cornerstones of the ICSA since its inception most college sailing programs offer general instruction to the student body, and in some cases the general public. Often college sailing programs serve to introduce many people to the sport of sailing.
Many college sailors have gone on to race in the America's Cup as well as in the Olympics.
