It is now known as the birthplace of today's collegiate sailing. A number of colleges had sailing clubs in the late 1800s; however, these were primarily social clubs consisting of private boat owners. The first ten Dinghy Championships of the newly organized Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association ( ICYRA ) were sailed on the Charles River in MIT's fleet of cat-rigged, wooden Tech Dinghies. To this day, MIT continues to host more college regattas than any other site in the country. In the fall of 1994 it hosted the ICYRA 's first annual Women's Singlehanded Championship in Laser Radials. MIT provides (without charge) practice time for local colleges and high schools who do not have boats and sites of their own. Currently, the sailing teams from the following colleges and universities practice and race from the MIT Pavilion: Brandeis Northeastern , and Wellesley College MIT has over 100 sailboats in its fleet .

Extractions: home Spa Regatta since 1985 Since the first SPA Regatta in 1985, this Dutch event has become one of worlds best Olympic Sailing regattas with over 1500 participants from more than 50 countries. Back in the early eighties, SPA looked for an opportunity to transfer its image from a drink associated with illness to a drink placed in the leisure atmosphere and the sportive/free time surroundings. SPA decided to associate its natural products with the natural elements of sailing. That is why SPA decided to sponsor the Royal Dutch Watersport Union ( KNWV ), to become main sponsor of the Dutch Olympic Sailing Team and title sponsor of the new (to be created) event: SPA Regatta. This sponsorship provided SPA with the best possible marketing tools to achieve the desired image transfer. The federation provided the necessary authority, the Olympic sailing team the desired quality-exposure and the SPA Regatta the yearly platform for action-marketing, hospitality management and a yearly climax of all sailing activities translated in an international event in which all Olympic-, World- and European- and national champions take part. Some highlights After seventeen successful editions of the SPA Regatta, there are many highlights to mention. The Olympic Sailing Regatta is well-known for the various introduced innovations that were subsequently taken over by the International Sailing Federation.

Belgian Sebastian Godefroid is a past Silver medallist but has been indifferent recently. The American representative is Kevin Hall. Hall has a sailing resume that includes collegiate success, America's Cup campaigns and Olympic campaigns in several classes. Hall is not a medal favorite and did get a late start on his campaign. A medal for Hall would be synonymous with a fast finish. Perhaps the most intriguing Finn sailor is New Zealand's Dean Barker. Currently he is best remembered for being the skipper of Team New Zealand as Alinghi crushed them. Olympic success would certainly enhance Barker's standing.

In ancient times, Sailing was linked with the history and activities of many nations. The mastering of the seas often played a crucial role in a countryâs growth and expansion. The first Sailing competition, which is still held today, was the Cumberland Cup, inaugurated in 1715. The first international competition, in 1851, was the âHundred Guineas Cupâ â now known as the Americas Cup, named after the first winning boat âAmericaâ. This marked the debut of competition Sailing as we know it today. Sailing started to attract sailors with a disability in the 1980s. The first international Sailing tournament for athletes with a disability was held in Switzerland. Further tournaments were held in Germany and Holland. The International Handicap Sailing Committee (IHSC) was established in 1988, and began to organise competitions and forums to promote Sailing for persons with a disability. Two years later, in 1990, Sailing made its debut as an exhibition sport at the World Games for the Disabled.

Extractions: Gal Friedman Gal Friedman was born in Hadera on September 16, 1975. He is a two-time Olympic medalist for Israel in the mistral sailing event, and the first Israeli to ever win a gold medal. Friedman is also the first Israeli to win two medals. Friedman acquired his love of sailing from his family. His father competed in sailing from 1978 onward and as a child he always lived by the ocean. Friedman won the silver medal at the 1995 and 1996 World Championships and placed second in the European Championships both years. He was named Israel's Sportsman of the Year in 1996. A member of the Israeli sailing team at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Friedman competed in the men's mistral (sailboard) event. He took the bronze medal, only the third medal won by an Israeli athlete in Olympic history. Going into the final race, Gal held a slim point lead for third place, but held onto it to clinch his bronze. After winning the medal, Friedman said: "There are no words to describe this, but I feel very good...I felt the whole of Israel was watching me." After the success in Atlanta, Friedman failed to make the Olympic criteria for Sydney 2000. He bounced back with an impressive array of results, starting with the 2001 European Championships in France. Friedman won the bronze and seemed to have put the Sydney ignominy behind him. In 2002, he was the best mistral sailor in the world. He won gold at the World Championship in Thailand and the silver in the European Championships. In 2003, Friedman captured the bronze in the World Championships at Cadiz, but he manage only a 20th place finish in the 2004 World Championships. On May 25, 2004 Friedman won the Israeli National Championships by such a wide margin, that he sat out the third and final day of sailing.
