Last weekend, Seafarers Yacht Club in Annapolis, MD hosted their first annual regatta, assisted in part by US Sailing DEI committee member captdlawson ⛵️More than fifty years ago, when many Chesapeake Bay marinas would not let black boaters gas up at their piers and yacht clubs were closed to black captains, a group of working-class black men banded together in the face of discrimination and founded the Seafarers Yacht Club. The club is active in community service, from providing meals to seniors to hosting a camp for youth during the summer. We love to see more opportunities for people to get involved in our amazing sport!

Sailing has been a part of the Olympics since the dawn of the modern Olympiad in 1896 – only one year before the founding of the NAYRU, which later became US Sailing. The pathway of sailing in the Olympics and the evolution of US Sailing run (or sail?) a parallel course – as the sport evolved, so did its governing body and peak international competition.
