The National Sailing Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization that promotes sailing by preserving America's sailing legacy and engages the next generation by sharing the benefits, excitement and beauty of sailing.
The National Sailing Hall of Fame promotes sailing by recognizing its heroes; highlighting sailing's contribution to the American culture and experience; and demonstrating its value as a hands-on tool for teaching math & science.
NSHOF's facility provides a home for American sailing - a place where people can participate in on-the-water experiences and immerse themselves in sailing's history, art and lore.

Inductions
Sailing is one of only a handful of sports where the public is invited to submit nominations. Nominations are made online at http://nominate.nshof.org. A nominating committee operating under an established set of by-laws and rules evaluates all submitted nominations in order to determine those nominees who will be inducted each year. Inductees are typically announced in the summer, and the induction ceremony is held in the fall at different sailing locations around the United States. Inductions began in 2011.
