For nearly six decades, the USC Sailing Team has been a cornerstone of Trojan spirit, competing with passion and pride. As we approach our 60th Anniversary in 2025, we stand at a pivotal moment—a celebration of an extraordinary past and the exciting dawn of a new era.
This incredible journey has been steered by legendary figures. Jim Eddy, with an astounding 50 years of dedication, and Sego, with 44 years of leadership, have been the heart and soul of this team. Their unwavering commitment has shaped countless student sailors and built a legacy that will forever be a part of USC's history.
Now, we invite you to be a part of this historic transition.
Please join us for a special weekend to honor their monumental contributions and celebrate the bright future of USC Sailing.
