The Hawaii Youth Sailing Association (HYSA) was founded to encourage, support, and promote the growth of junior sailing and racing in Hawaii.  

​

  The primary purpose of HYSA is to improve communication and connect junior sailors with sailing programs and available resources.  

 

  HYSA maintains and distributes the master calendar for junior sailing clinics, races, and special events.  Clinics are held annually for Laser, Laser Radial, El Toro, O'pen Skiff, Waszp, iQ Foil, 420 and 29er sailors to prepare them for racing at regional, national, and international levels.  Our yacht clubs host multiple regattas year-round, including the regional qualifier for the US Sailing Chubb Junior Championships.

​

  HYSA is a non-profit volunteer organization that relies on the support of its members, their families, junior sailing coaches, and yacht club affiliates.  It is funded solely by annual membership dues, clinic fees, and donations.  Proceeds are used to fund clinics and purchase trophies presented at the annual recognition banquet.
