About

The University of Southern California Varsity Sailing Team represents an integration of intense competition, extreme focus, diversification, and lots of fun!

Our number one goal, as it has been for decades, is that this should be some of the most fulfilling years of your life, particularly in sailing.

The rigors of sailing on the team rival those of the classroom. Team members must be able to balance work with play, while maintaining the academic excellence that was exhibited to be admitted to USC. Practices are strenuous, goals are challenging, expectations are high and an individuals roles on the team can be many.

We welcome sailors of all abilities and there are ample boats for the team to expand.


Our roster boasts about 15 student athletes, competing nearly every weekend against much of the best talent college sailing has to offer. The team takes full advantage of the many high caliber sailors on the West Coast, with our numerous USC alumni often making guest appearances at practices.

While many schools are chipping ice off their boats or waiting for their lake to thaw, we sail year round.


From breezy San Francisco to sunny San Diego, we take advantage of our perfect weather to compete in regattas up and down the West Coast. Competitions even take us to Hawaii just about every other year.
