Dartmouth College Kicks Off Spring Season for NEISA Women's Team Racing

The NEISA Awards Committee has announced the 2022 NEISA Watch Lists for Coed and Women’s Sailor of the Year, Babineau Crew of the Year and Women’s Crew of the Year.

Since 1959, the ICSA and the British Universities Sailing Association (BUSA) have taken part in a bi-annual competition where each organization sends a team of outstanding student-athletes across the Atlantic to compete against one another.  This summer, the ICSA will be sending a team to England to once again represent all of ICSA in “The Tour."

The ICSA-BUSA Tour has historically featured talented athletes on both sides who have gone onto represent their country in the Olympics, the America’s Cup, and much more.  Every 4 years the ICSA sends a team of our very best to compete against many of the best student-athletes from across the BUSA universities.

The 2021 edition of the Tour was postponed due to COVID-19, and is thankfully now back on for this summer.  The dates of the tour including travel will run between July 15-August 9, with a firmer set of dates and itinerary to follow in the coming weeks.
