International Sailing Schools Association should not be confused with Interscholastic Sailing Association.
The International Sailing Schools Association also known as ISSA is an international organization associating 3,500 sailing schools from all over the world.[4] ISSA was founded in London and Paris in 1969 as a result of a joint initiative of the sailing communities of France, Poland, Italy, Switzerland and Great Britain.[5]
In 1982, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe granted the ISSA consultative status as an NGO.[6]
In 2005 World Sailing discussed the role of ISSA at its annual conference.[7]
