Set Sail for Success at Match Racing Nationals

Join us in making waves at the 2025 CICSA Match Racing Nationals! Your support will help cover event costs, ensuring a thrilling and inclusive regatta for Canada’s top collegiate sailors. Let’s set sail for success together!

Project Description

Ahoy, sailing enthusiasts! The UBC Sailing Team is gearing up to host the 2025 CICSA Match Racing Nationals at the stunning Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and we need your help to make it a smooth voyage. This premier event brings together the nation’s best collegiate sailors for an exhilarating display of skill, strategy and teamwork.

Hosting a regatta of this caliber isn’t just a walk in the park—it’s more like navigating a stormy sea. From boat rentals and safety equipment to race officials and travel grants, the costs add up quickly. Your support will help us cover these expenses, ensuring a top-tier experience for competitors and spectators alike.

But that’s not all! Your contributions will also help us:

  • Tackle financial barriers for talented sailors who might otherwise miss out
  • Weather the storm with a contingency fund for unexpected challenges
  • Promote the sport of match racing by growing community engagement and awareness

With your help, we can create a regatta that’s not only competitive but also inclusive and unforgettable. Your donation today can help make this event a breeze!

Challenges and Impact of Your Support

Organizing the Match Racing Nationals comes with its challenges, but with your help, we can overcome them. Hosting this regatta requires resources like boat rentals, safety equipment, race officials and participant travel expenses. Your donation today can make a huge impact.

Sailing is weather-dependent and unexpected delays can bring added costs and logistical hurdles. With your support, we can build a contingency fund to ensure the event runs smoothly, rain or shine—for both sailors and spectators.

This event also prioritizes inclusivity. Many talented sailors face financial barriers and your generosity can help cover entry fees or provide travel grants to ensure all qualified teams can compete.

Finally, match racing thrives with community involvement. Whether you’re sharing our campaign, attending the event, or volunteering on race day, your support helps build excitement for the sport and empowers a new generation of sailors. Together, we can make the 2025 CICSA Match Racing Nationals unforgettable!
