(New London, CT)- This coming weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy will
be hosting their first intercollegiate keelboat regatta with their J/70
fleet. Teams will be sailing equalized one-design J/70s with four
person crews on the Thames River. The format is short course,
college-style sailing with double windward-leewards and rotations likely
after every two races. Sound familiar for those who’ve been following
the “sailing 
league”
formats? College-style sailing is fun, exciting, high-energy and
incredibly social as teams hang out on the docks and watch the racing
together. The USCGA’s facility at Jacob’s Rock is one of the nicest sailing facilities anywhere in college sailing. Built over Jacob’s Rock and accessed by a 300 yard long pier, it offers the sailors, coaches and spectators an extraordinary venue to watch and enjoy the sport of sailing.
