Sailing is a coed sport, but there are regattas during the year for women only, as well.
The team practices out of the San Diego Yacht Club. The national championship is held in a different place every year, and could be on the Great Lakes, the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, or in the Pacific. There are seven districts in the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association and a National governing body, each district gets to host the National's in turn. The SDSU Sailing Team was started in the Fall of 1947. The sailing season lasts from mid to late September all the way to early June .
