The University of Texas Sailing Team (UT Sailing Team, UTST, or Texas Sailing) is a nationally competitive club sports team at the University of Texas at Austin. Their goal is to expand the love and knowledge of competitive sailing throughout the university community and their conference at large.
The club encourages participation from all undergraduate students at UT, regardless of experience although the club also recruits students with high school sailing experience. Each fall and spring Texas Sailing fields competitive coed and women's teams in the Southeastern Intercollegiate Sailing Association district of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association, travelling around the country to race in intercollegiate regattas. The club also hosts two or more regattas annually, as well as an annual Alumni Regatta.
The team is governed by a board of student officers.
