Texas Sailing Association

Welcome to the texas sailing association.

With more than 40 member clubs, Texas Sailing Association works to promote and coordinate sailboat racing in Texas and across the southwest. As part of the US SAILING Association’s regional structure, TSA combines with Central States Sailing Association and Sailing Association of Intermountain Lakes to form Area F, one of US SAILING’s geographic divisions.  Club representatives compete each year in TSA events for the right to continue on to Area and National championships. TSA also provides local access to US Sailing services, such as racing judges and the protest appeal process.   We hope to see you on the water soon!

Hosting a US Sailing Championship

2018 Chubb U.S. Junior Championships

About This Event

2023 Official Notice Board and Results

2023 Event Photos

Follow US Sailing on Social Media for Event Coverage

The Chubb U.S. Youth Triplehanded Championship for the Sears Cup is US Sailing’s National Championship for three-person, triplehanded youth teams (occasionally four-person boats are used), and serves as a pathway into keelboat racing. First sailed in 1921, the Sears Cup is US Sailing’s oldest national championship trophy and the original youth sailing national championship. The National Championship regatta is typically held in early August, with the Area Qualifier regattas taking place earlier in the year, typically in June and July.

New in 2023 : The Sears Cup will double in size from 11 teams to 22 teams, allowing each Area to send two teams to the National Championship.  

The 2023 Sears Cup will be sailed in the RS21 with crews of four people at Lakewood Yacht Club in Seabrook, TX.

Championship Facts

  • Type of Event: Ladder qualification via Area Qualifier regattas
  • Boat Class: Triplehanded, three-person boats (occasionally four-person boats are used)
  • Competitors must have reached their 13th birthday but not their 19th in calendar year, and be eligible to compete per the Notice of Race.
  • Coaching is provided by US Sailing Coaches. No private coaching is allowed.

The type of boat used for the National Championship and the Area Qualifier regattas varies based on the availability of boats at the host clubs each year. Generally the boats are three-person (or occasionally four-person) one-design classes, typically a keelboat (such as VX One, RS21, J-22, etc) or a large centerboard boat (such as a Lightning, Thistle, Flying Scot, etc). Recent Sears Cup boats include the VX One (2022), RS21 (2021), Open 5.70 (2019), Lightning (2018), Flying Scot (2017).

The 2023 Sears Cup will be sailed in the RS21 with crews of four people at Lakewood Yacht Club in Seabrook, TX. The 2024 Sears Cup will be sailed in the Viper 640 at Bay Waveland Yacht Club in Bay St. Louis, MS.

Championship History

In 1921, Commodore Herbert M. Sears of the Eastern Yacht Club at Marblehead, MA placed in competition a Cup bearing his name for competition among juniors of Massachusetts yacht clubs. The next year eligibility broadened to include clubs such as Larchmont and Seawanhaka Corinthian on Long Island Sound and Cedarhurst on the south shore of Long Island, NY. How racing has changed since then is reflected in the fact that boys in those days were required to wear caps, neckties and jackets and girls dresses while sailing. In 1930, Commodore Sears of the Eastern Yacht Club at Marblehead, confident that NAYRU was here to stay and deeming it desirable that the competition be national in scope, deeded the trophy to NAYRU for triplehanded sailing among juniors over 12 and under 18 whose parents or guardians are members of some Yacht Club in the United States recognized by the Union. Under the deed, the Cup is “for the purpose of promoting the sport of yachting by encouraging proficiency in seamanship and sportsmanlike conduct in sail yacht racing on the part of boys and girls of school age”. By the 1950’s, NAYRU was inviting the Associations to make selections of teams to compete. Until the US Yacht Racing Union was formed in 1975, teams from Canadian Yacht Clubs also competed.

The growing number of sailors in singlehanded boats led US Sailing to the addition in 1974 of the U.S. Junior Singlehanded Championship for a trophy in honor D. Verner Smythe, a long‑time chairman of the Sears Cup Committee. The U.S. Junior Doublehanded Championship is of similar vintage as the U.S. Junior Singlehanded. F. Gregg Bemis was best known for his work on the racing rules which included a long tenure as chairman of the Appeals Committee, but it was his leadership role in judging at junior and intercollegiate regattas that inspired a group of co-judges to donate in 1975 a trophy for doublehanded junior sailing.  In 1999 the singlehanded and doublehanded divisions were expanded to include two teams per Area (groupings of Yacht Racing or District Associations) with the exception of Areas H and L, each of whom sent one team. In 2006, Chubb Insurance became title of sponsor of the Sears, Bemis, and Smythe events, which were renamed the Chubb U.S. Junior Championships.

In 2023 the Smythe Trophy and Bemis Trophy were rededicated to be a part of the U.S. Youth Championship regatta, and the Sears Cup event was renamed the Chubb U.S. Youth Triplehanded Championship. Today, the Chubb U.S. Youth Triplehanded Championship for the Sears Cup is US Sailing’s National Championship for three-person (triplehanded) youth teams, and serves as a pathway into keelboat racing.

Lakewood’s Reboot

  • By Dave Reed
  • Updated: June 30, 2020

RS21s

Successive hurricanes and floods pummeled coastal Texas in the early 2000s, dealing a crippling blow to the many one-design fleets long rooted in the region. Recovery was slow, and while it took the better part of two decades for dinghy and keelboat fleets to flourish once again, youth sailing , particularly at Lakewood, needed more young sailors among its ranks.

Ten years of building a strong youth program led them to ask the very same question posed in yacht clubs across the nation: How do they get those same young sailors back and active? “From a membership perspective, the level of growth wasn’t where we wanted it to be,” says Lakewood’s past commodore Ash Walker.

Younger members, who are building careers and families, want team and match racing as well as social activity, Walker says, but they don’t want—or can’t afford—to own and campaign private boats. It was time for the club to step up and smash those the barriers, which began with an exhaustive three-year evaluation process and led to 12 new RS21 keelboats , commissioned at the club in late February.

The process provides a road map for other clubs with the ­initiative and wherewithal to do the same: They first reached out to progressive peers around the country to determine what type of programming was working best. Then came the boat: J/22s were attractive, Walker says, because it was the dominant fleet in the area already, but trying to find a dozen of them was problematic. “We wanted boats to be virtually identical for the racing we wanted to do,” Walker says. “We then talked about the J/70 , and looked at it pretty hard, but cost and boat draft was a factor there. They looked at Sonars, but again, sourcing a matched set was a concern. Then came the arrival of the RS21, from English builder RS Sailing. As a sporty new and unproven design, Walker and his committee, which included local RS dealer and club member Mark McNamara, owner of KO Sailing, found that the 21-footer was an even tougher sell to those with the purse strings.

Cost was a big concern, but the club had recently sold real estate it owned, an off-site facility with declining use by the club membership. “We had the good fortune to sell that property and reinvest for the good of the club,” Walker says. They also partnered with a local sailing foundation, Bay Access, which “gave us some flexibility and an additional source of capital to help offset the costs.”

RS Sailing

“I was keen on the RS21 from the beginning,” McNamara says. “RS really thinks through their boats. Early on, I tied in the factory with the club’s decision-makers to ensure it was a partnership, that RS understands our goals.” As fleet manager, McNamara’s KO Sailing now oversees the concierge service. “The goal is to remove every barrier to get members out on the boats, and then back on land and straight into the club bar or restaurant,” he says.

Walker, McNamara and a small Texan entourage chartered an RS21 for one regatta in 2019 (“We had a great time,” they say, with a chuckle, when pressed on their results) and confirmed that it “hit all the buttons,” Walker says. “It’s a new, good-looking boat, and can be used for adult learn-to-sail classes, twilight club racing, as well as youth and match racing. It’s very versatile and very stable. Being able to sail in both Clear Lake and Galveston Bay 12 months out of the year, we’re happy with the choice. Costwise it’s a great fit.”

Plus, the members are now jazzed with the sight of a dozen of them, now sitting in lifts, adorned with colorful decals and bow numbers.

When the first container arrived at Lakewood’s facilities on Clear Lake, a handful of members rolled up their sleeves to help assemble—screwing on cleats, stepping rigs and slotting keels. “You can only imagine what it takes to organize a fleet like this, and the headaches we ran into were very, very small,” McNamara says, lauding RS for its help—including one of the company’s principles flying in from England to help assemble the boats.

RELATED: The Young and the Talented

“Looking back, it was important to have a lot of communication with the members, to sell them on the idea that this is the future,” Walker says. “Selling them on the idea of buying 12 sailboats was a challenge, but when we showed that it would bring in new members, they jumped on the wagon.”

When the board approved the plan, and the funding in late 2019, membership jumped immediately—”double digits,” Walker says. “Including younger family members and a couple of well‑known ­sailors who sold their J/22s.”

To facilitate management of the fleet and member usage, Lakewood also retained KO Sailing, which built an online reservation system. Every member who wants to charter is vetted, and those in need of remedial skills go to a coaching session with the club’s waterfront director, Terry Flynn. A custom microsite for Lakewood allows them to register for weeknight local races and day sails. “People show up, and the boat is on the dock ready to go,” McNamara says. “It’s a very simple process.”

Where there was once not a single club-owned fleet on Galveston Bay, Lakewood’s lead might quickly change that, says Walker, who hopes other nearby clubs follow suit because, as ­everyone knows, Texans only go big.
