Varsity Offshore Sailing Team
ABOUT THE TEAM
The United States Merchant Marine Academy Offshore Team has solidified itself as one of the top sailing programs in the country. With a rich history of success, the Offshore Team is one of a few varsity offshore programs in college sailing. The team competes within ICSA, as well as outside, in numerous regional, national, and international events. These include the Marblehead-Halifax, Annapolis-Newport, and the Newport-Bermuda Races.
The program has claimed 3 ICSA National Championships, in addition to countless other wins, solidifying the Kings Point Offshore Team as one of the most decorated offshore college sailing teams.
In addition to being a fully-back Waterfront Athletics Varsity Program, the Offshore team is supported by the United States Merchant Marine Sailing Foundation. The foundation facilitates the donation of large offshore sailboats to the team. The Offshore program has one of the largest, newest fleets in the nation. These include: Mills 41, J44, Sydney 38, 3 IC37’s, and a fleet of J70’s.
