The 25th Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium

March 14 - 15, 2025

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (ET)

USNA

Annapolis, Maryland

The Organizing Committee of the 25th Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium invites researchers, practitioners, and students to Annapolis as we celebrate half a century of excellence in sailing yacht research, we seek contributions that will shape the next 50 years of sailing technology. 

The Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium is the world's longest-running technical forum dedicated to advancing the study of the art and science of sailing yacht design technology. Professional yacht designers and a wide variety of sailing enthusiasts travel from around the world to attend the CSYS Symposia to present papers and exchange ideas on sailing.
