 The
OCC intercollegiate sailing team is open to all
full time OCC students. NO experience is necessary
to join!
College sailing is made as simple as possible by
design. Host schools provide all of the necessary
equipment except for personal gear such as life
jackets, boots, and spray suits. All the collegiate
sailor has to do is show up.
Note:
this means the perfect college sailor can hop onto
any boat and make it go. One weekend you might sail
in a 420 at Navy and the next weekend you might
sail in a Flying Junior at Connecticut College. |
Varsity
- The varsity regattas are called "major intersectionals"
because they include colleges from each of the national
districts. The size of the events range from 10-20
schools depending on the host schools facilities.
These regattas have the highest level of skill and
competition and are open to any college sailor regardless
of sex or class. Intersectionals are always for trophies
and major prestige. 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.
- Womens
- These regattas are open to only women. There are
both local and major intersectional women's events.
Also the women have their own national rankings.
-
- Freshman
- Any frosch sailor. That is, anyone who is in their-
first year of college.

- Keel boats
- This far smaller circuit is held in "Big Boats".
"Big boat" events involve boats other than
centerboard dinghies. (Some collegiate regattas use
J-22's, J-24's, Shields, E-22's, Luders e.
