Unlike many of our foreign competitors, U.S. sailors are not fully funded by a national sports organization. U.S. Sailing is currently taking steps to rectify this imbalance. But, for now, sailors continue to bear the responsibility for raising the majority of the funds necessary to finance their efforts.

470 Team USA relies almost entirely on private donations and corporate sponsorship to finance our training and competition. Individual supporters join our the quest for Olympic gold by making a donation! All donations are much appreciated, and make a difference as we work towards the 2012 Summer Olympics.
