The Canadian Intercollegiate Sailing Association (CICSA) has put together National University Teams to compete at student/university events internationally. This was the first training event for both teams in preparation for the 2024 FISU World Championships to be held in June 2024 in Italy. “With their outstanding results, we’re looking forward to seeing these athletes continue to develop their sailing skills and teamwork leading up to the 2024 FISU World Championships”, said CICSA President, Valerie Louis.
