The OCC intercollegiate sailing team is open to all full time OCC students. NO experience is necessary to join!

The results in this circuit alone are what make up the national rankings.
Minor Varsity
These regattas are held solely within the local district and are restricted to competitor teams from within that district. Competition can still be at a very high level as team's 3rd and 4th skippers/crews sail at these events.
