US Sailing's Sailor Athlete Council (SAC) maintains an avenue for American sailor athletes to voice their opinions, providing a forum and opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the future and direction of our sport.

While much of the representation at US Sailing is organized around a class, a Regional Sailing Association, or a racing discipline (such as team or match racing), the SAC is the only vehicle for sailors to be heard as individuals rather than as members of an organization.

The Sailor Athlete Council (SAC) is seeking to add five (5) members as the class of 2028 (4 year term).

Now is your chance to make your opinions heard and have a meaningful impact on the future and direction of our sport! Nominations close March 20, 2025.

If interested please self nominate at the link below:
