What is SAISA Sailing?
Updated
SAISA Sailing (saisasailing.com) is the website of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the South Atlantic Conference of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA). If you are a college sailor, coach, prospective sailor, or prospective school in the South Atlantic region, this site is the conference hub for information and resources — but not for live scores, which live on ICSA TechScore.
What SAISA is
SAISA stands for the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association. It is the South Atlantic Conference of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA), which the site describes as the governing authority for sailing competition at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.
In other words, SAISA is one regional conference within a larger national governing structure — it organizes and represents college sailing competition for its member schools rather than acting as an independent league.
Which states it covers
SAISA encompasses:
- Florida
- Georgia
- South Carolina
- North Carolina
- Tennessee
- Alabama
If your school is in one of these states and you want to compete in college sailing, SAISA is the conference you would fall under.
Who the site is for
The site states it offers conference information and resources for four groups:
| Audience | What they would use the site for |
|---|---|
| Sailors | Conference information and resources |
| Coaches | Conference information and resources |
| Prospective sailors | Learning about college sailing in the region |
| Prospective schools | Exploring conference membership and information |
What you can find there
- Conference information — the administrative and organizational details of the South Atlantic Conference.
- Resources for sailors, coaches, prospective sailors, and prospective schools.
- SAISA Sailors of the Week announcements, which the site links to directly.
- Social media updates via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Where to find scores
Scores are not published on saisasailing.com. The site directs visitors to the ICSA TechScore website for the latest results from events across the South Atlantic conference. If your goal is checking regatta results, go to TechScore rather than the SAISA homepage.
