CSUMB's sailing team moves from club sport to intercollegiate competition. The Otters will compete as a member of the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) and regionally with the Pacific Coast Yacht Racing Association, the organization responsible for college regattas on the west coast. The new intercollegiate sailing program promises to further advance the stature of CSUMB's sports offerings. Frank Degnan is hired to coach the team.

"He [Degnan] is an experienced teacher of sailing and has an extensive background of racing along the California coast," says Bill Trumbo, director of Athletics, Sports Recreation & Health (ASRH).

Says Degnan: "The sailing team has a solid nucleus of experienced sailors and a number of enthusiastic sailors to act as crew. We intend to be competitive from the start, and will use next semester to build a solid foundation for the future."
