What are US Sailing's National Championships?
They provide an opportunity for U.S. sailors to compete at the national level and test themselves against the best.  They are emblematic of a true national championship.

There are four ways to enter a championship:

1.) Through an qualification series
2.) In an open event
3.) Invitation by application
4.) Mix of qualification and select invitations

Our National Championships are hosted by yacht clubs and sailing organizations around the country. US SAILING and its volunteers work hand in hand with the host clubs to organize some of the more prestigious events in the country.
