Adult Championship Series US Sailing’s Adult Championship Series offer a wide variety of disciplines for

sailors including one design, disabled, multihull, match and team racing.

Some are open to all sailors, while others continue on the rich tradition begun in the 1920’s of club vs. club competition. Any sailing organization can field a team to represent them at the national level.

The Championships, trophies and winners provide a glimpse into the glorious history of the sport, and provide a canvas for sailors of today to paint their own version of tomorrow’s history
