St. Mary's City, MD (Oct. 23, 2023) – Harvard University took the win at the 2023 Open Atlantic Coast Championship (ACC) Finals hosted by the St. Mary’s College of Maryland after two days of competitive racing on the St. Mary’s River. The Open Atlantic Coast Championship was the second event of a two stage series which began with two evenly seeded events hosted by NEISA. The top nine teams from each qualifying regatta moved on to the finals. The Open ACC Finals is the strongest open fleet racing event of the season, and saw very competitive and tight racing. The podium was swept by the Ivy League with Brown University and Dartmouth College rounding out the top three.   

“I am very proud of our team. Everyone has worked hard to get us to this point,” said Harvard University Head Coach Mike O’Connor. “Over the last few weeks we have focused on consistently starting well. We knew that there would be little margin for error against the best teams in the nation.” 


The 2022-2023 ICSA All-Academic team has been reviewed and selected. This year an impressive 277 student athletes have been named to the team. The ICSA All-Academic Sailing Team recognizes Juniors and Seniors who have participated as a competitor or alternate in seven regattas (2022-2023) and have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale.


The selections have been made for the College Sailing Fall National Championships. The Open and Women’s Singlehanded National Championships will be hosted by Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 11-12, 2023. The College Sailing Open Match Race National Championship will be hosted by the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina on November 3-5, 2023.

The National Championship Selection Committees are charged with selecting the most competitive field of At-Large Candidates for the National Championships. To be eligible, candidates must have competed in a corresponding Conference Championship in any ICSA conference. Selectors must honor the finishing order at any respective conference championship; to select the fourth-place sailor in a conference, they must also select the second and third place candidates.
