[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are under 110lbs, learn how to be a crew in sailing (NOT crew, but the second person in a double handed handed boat). A couple of years of high school sailing experience will open a ton of doors. Skippers are a very different story, but often top college crews have never set foot in a boat before college, so to have some experience, and be small and athletic, is a huge advantage. [/quote]

Sailing is not an official NCAA sport. The Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) is the governing authority for sailing competition at colleges and universities throughout the United States and does not allow competitors to receive scholarships or financial aid based on sailing ability[/quote]

PP - I'm a former college sailor and I am well aware. However, much like men's rowing, they will find a way to give you extra money if you are coming there to sail (for example I received a "special talent" scholarship from one college for playing the violin, I had no intention of playing it in college). Moreso though it can give a boost at highly selective colleges and universities where the sailing coach does get to submit a list for consideration in admissions. [/quote]

PP again, the question was about getting recruited, not scholarship money, so was just answering that question! [/quote]
