Kings Point Intercolliegate Sailing Team



	*The Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association* *Breeding Ground of Champions* The Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association spans seven states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia (Eastern Part), and includes the District of Columbia. Hundreds of sailors participate, and hail from schools that have both new or long-established sailing programs. MAISA schools host some of the largest and most hotly-contested regattas on the ICSA circuit. These include the Trux Umsted (Navy), the Navy Fall Invitational, the ODU Team Race, the St. Mary's Team Race, the Admirals Cup (USMMA) and the Nevins Trophy (USMMA). Over the past two decades, MAISA has become the most competitive district in college sailing. This fact is best illustrated by our sweep of the 1998 ICSA Coed Dinghy North American Championships, held in New Orleans. In what has been described as one of the most exciting championships in recent years, the three teams which represented MAISA -- Old Dominion University, the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy, and Hobart/William Smith Colleges -- placed 1-2-3 respectively. This was the first district sweep since the Yale-Brown-Harvard win in 1949. MAISA traces its roots of success to Princeton University. While Princeton's earliest championships came prior to the present district system, they form the foundation of MAISA's rich tradition: three national titles (1940, 1941, 1963), and nine second or third place finishes. Princeton passed the winner's crown to Navy, who compiled six national titles (1956, 1957, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995). Navy is followed closely by Kings Point, with five titles (1979, 1983, 1984, 1987, 1996) and both ODU (1989, 1998) and St. Mary's College (2000, 2002) with two. When considering the top ICSA Championships and perpetual awards, MAISA sailors can boast of: 18 of the 66 Co-Ed Dinghy National Championships 14 of the 36 Women's National Championships 13 of the 31 Sloop National Championships 14 of the 43 Team Racing Championships 19 of the 40 Men's Singlehanded Championships 3 of the 8 Women's Singlehanded Championships 15 of the 35 College Sailors of the Year 6 of the 15 Sportsmen of the Year MAISA is working hard to maintain this tradition of excellence, and to improve the overall quality of the member schools. Considering our record at the Dinghy Nationals -- seven of the last ten championships -- it is likely that we will achieve this goal, and remain the dominant district for years to come.
