US Sailing history
US Sailing company history timeline
The USSA was founded in 1897 as the NAYRU (North American Yacht Racing Union). Organized as a multi-national authority and sponsor for the sport of yacht racing the Union continued to grow.
1931: Canada, which was originally part of NAYRU, formed its own Canadian Yachting Association (CYA)
The picturesque yacht club was the perfect backdrop for the birth of the NBYA (but little did these “founders” know that the building would be swept away by a 30-foot tidal surge just six months later in the infamous 1938 Hurricane).
1957: A trophy donated by the National Marine Manufacturers Association, was named for naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, began to be awarded annually
January 1975: NAYRU changed its name to the United States Yacht Racing Union. (USYRU)
October 1991: USYRU change its name to the United States Sailing Association, Inc. and began to do business as US SAILING.
1993: US Sailing developed a comprehensive instruction program for adults to learn to sail in larger sailboats.
Since 1994, TACS has provided sailing instruction and activities for over 4,000 area youth and adults in various programs.
In 2004 Ben Ferris, our Camp Director, received the award for the Best Director of a Seasonal Community Sailing Program from US Sailing, the national sailing organization
The Cornwell Sailing Center which will house the TACS fleet and better serve the community was completed in November of 2008.
