Pacific Coast Inter-Scholastic Sailing Association
The Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association (PCISA) fosters high school sailing for California, Utah, Hawaii, Arizona, and Nevada.
In PCISA there are multiple racing series. Most races take place in California with regional races taking place in Northern California and Southern California. These are called NorCal's and SoCal's with them being smaller regattas. The major regattas are called "10 percenters" as they make up 10% of the racing standings. These major events traditionally begin in Monterey with the Sea Otter Regatta in October and for most ends with the PCCs in April. Typical fleet racing is sailed in small dinghies called CFJs, although some specialty regattas are held in Lasers, Keelboats and some Girls Regattas take place in CFJs
