What are US Sailing's National Championships?
They provide an opportunity for U.S. sailors to compete at the national level and test themselves against the best.  They are emblematic of a true national championship.

There are four ways to enter a championship:

1.) Through a qualification series
2.) In an open event
3.) Invitation by application
4.) Mix of qualification and select invitations
