Fields set for College Fall Nationals

The selections have been made for the 2023 College Sailing Fall National Championships. The Open and Women’s Singlehanded National Championships will be hosted by Tulane University on November 11-12 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Open Match Race National Championship will be hosted by the College of Charleston on November 3-5 in Charleston, South Carolina.

Beyond the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) conference champions, the National Championship Selection Committees are charged with selecting the most competitive field of At-Large Candidates for the National Championships.

To be eligible, candidates must have competed in a corresponding Conference Championship in any ICSA conference. Selectors must honor the finishing order at any respective conference championship; to select the fourth-place sailor in a conference, they must also select the second and third place candidates.

Criteria for selection at the Open Singlehanded and Women’s Singlehanded include performances at ICSA Single and Doublehanded regattas throughout each candidate’s ICSA career. For the Match Race selection process, performances in Match Race and Doublehanded ICSA regattas throughout each candidate’s career are considered. For all three nationals, non-ICSA events and geographic distribution is not to be considered.
