From the West Coast Sailing Newsletter:
We are excited to announce that we have entered a new five-year sponsorship agreement with the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA)! We are committed to youth sailing, growing the sport, participation and are proud to be giving back to the community.
As ‘Official Suppliers,’ Zim and West Coast Sailing will contribute equipment for the use at various ICSA national championships. Additionally, 5% of all sales made by college sailing programs will be donated back to ICSA, which embodies our commitment to give back to the sailing community.
