The Caribbean Sailing Association was previously called the Caribbean Yachting Association and prior to that the West Indies Yachting Association. It is a federation of territories and sailing clubs of the Caribbean who associated in order to practically promote sailing activities in the Eastern Caribbean. The CSA operates in parallel with ISAF.

One of the major functions of the CSA is to maintain a handicap rule for larger yachts which allows the enormous variety of boats that are present in the Caribbean and that visit the Caribbean to race without a huge cost of measurement. The CSA rule is a measurement rule which minimizes inconsistencies that might occur through subjective estimates of a boat's speed potential. The rule is managed by a chief measurer and supported by measurers in each of the member territories. The CSA also supports dinghy racing by sanctioning a number of Caribbean Championships and holding an annual dinghy championship in St Johns, USVI in 2002.
