The mission of the Cleveland Sailing Association, (CSA) is to increase activity in sailboat racing in the Greater Cleveland Area. Member club’s regattas are combined into a Series for an overall competition. This gives racing teams an opportunity to travel to other clubs and sail in a wider variety of races while enjoying the hospitality and camaraderie of the Cleveland sailing community. The Governing Authority is the Cleveland Sailing Association.
The Advantages of the CSA:
CSA scores and awards five series. Boats are encouraged to participate in multiple series. A single $35 registration fee allows eligibility in all CSA series.
BOTY (Boat of the Year)
The BOTY is the most prestigious and lengthy CSA Series. It encourages participation in all club regattas that are designated CSA events.
WOMEN’S, DOUBLE HANDED and <35 (years old)
Women’s crews are raced with an all women crew with an optional owner representative on board that cannot participate helming or crewing the boat. An <35 crew is a crew all aged under 35 that must have owner representative that can optionally helm the boat. Double Handed races are for yachts that are crewed by 2 people. Races are contested prior to the main regatta or as modified by the event sailing instructions. CSA scores these series at the following regattas.
