Northwestern Sailing Team


Who We Are

We are a student-run club sport here at Northwestern. Founded in the early 1950's, NUST is one of the original members of the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association (MCSA), in which we still compete almost every weekend of the competitive season. We also compete at the national level at intersectional regattas throughout the year. Some of our notable achievements include sending our women's team to Nationals in Spring 2016, 2019, and 2022, as well as winning the MCSA Conference Championships in Fall 2016! We're lucky to sail on Lake Michigan, which provides us with conditions ranging from cold, heavy NE breeze with 5-ft waves to warm and shifty SW breeze with flat water. Our practices and home regattas take place right on campus at the Northwestern University Sailing Center (NUST), a beautiful beach-front facility that is no more than a 10-minute walk from anywhere on campus. NUSC was rebuilt in 2014 and now has locker rooms, bathrooms, and showers. There truly is no better facility for college sailing! The team has access to their fleet of 18 420's, 6 FJ's, and 3 coach boats.
