The American Sailboat Racing Foundation's mission is to raise the level of excellence among amateur American sailors with the ultimate goal of preparing them to compete in national and international competitions. The foundation has found that there is a gap in the funding needed to assist American athletes in the field of sailing to allow them to train, compete and win in national and international competitions. To fill this gap, the Foundation provides funds for private coaching, equipment, travel, and entrance fees to assist in training athletes who have shown the ability and experience to compete in sailing on a national and international level
