The Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) holds National Championships in six different events. Since intercollegiate sailing is a fall and spring sport, three of these championships are held in the fall and three are held in the spring
The Fall championships are for single-handed men and women and sloops. The single handed championships are usually sailed during a single regatta in early November in builder-supplied Lasers (Men) Laser Radials (Women). The Sloop Championships take place in mid-November using small keelboats supplied by the venue. Each sloop team sails with a crew of four.
The ICSA National Championship Regatta is held once each year in May and is hosted by a member school of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association. The ICSA National Championship Regatta is actually composed of three different regattas: a Team racing Championship, a Women's Championship, and a Coed Dinghy Championship. The most prestigious of these events is the Coed Dinghy Championship and if a school wins this event they are considered to have won college sailing nationals.

Famous quotes containing the words sailing, association and/or national:
“There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
Of time sailing like a magic barque
Or something as fine for the amenities....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
—Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
