Welcome to Northeast Sailing Association
The Northeast Sailing Association (NSA) is your local arm of US Sailing. The US Sailing Association (USSA) is the national body that coordinates and supports Junior and Senior sailing and racing events throughout the country. USSA is divided geographically into 10 Areas (Area A to Area J). NSA is in Area A.
Each Area is then divided into Associations. Area A contains the following Associations: NSA, Massachusetts Bay Sailing Association, Southern Massachusetts Sailing Association and Narragansett Bay Sailing Association. NSA is further divided into 4 regions (primarily because it encompasses such a large geographic area): Western (VT & NH), Southern (from Kittery to Small Point), Central (from Boothbay Harbor to Northport) and Eastern (from Castine to Sorrento).
Most of the Yacht Clubs or Organized Sailing Programs in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont are members of NSA.
NSA is a volunteer organization and, as such, relies on help and service from individuals for its sustained growth and development. Each NSA member club has an NSA Representative who will receive all official communications from NSA and whose job it is to keep the club (and its Junior Program) informed of NSA events.
If you have an interest in becoming involved in the organization (and we certainly welcome anyone who does), please contact the President or the Chair of the Junior Committee. We need you !
