The United States Sailing Association (US SAILING) is divided into 38 Regional Sailing Associations (RSAs) within 11 Yacht Racing Areas (YRAs). These are organized under the Council of Sailing Associations.

Area F of US SAILING represents sailing
clubs in a large area of the South Central
and Rocky Mountain portions of the United
States. See map.

Area F comprises three Regional Sailing Associations (RSAs):

• Central States Sailing Association
  CSSA represents about 25 clubs in six states: Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, western Arkansas, western Missouri and part of Nebraska

• Sailing Association of Intermountain Lakes
  SAIL represents 22 clubs in four states: Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and western Nebraska

• Texas Sailing Association
  TSA represents more than 50 clubs in the state of Texas and northwest Louisiana

The purpose of Area F Council is to support and promote the sport of sailing by facilitating communication between sailing associations within Area F, organizing Area championships, and ensuring excellence in race management and judging. The Council is financed by dues from the three Association members.

The Area F Council of Sailing Associations is governed by its Board, consisting of four officers elected by its membership and three representatives selected by each of its regional sailing associations. The Board meets annually in January, rotating meeting locations among its member regions.
