The Michigan Sailing Team is a competitive club sport that competes inter-collegiately, in the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association (MCSA), a region of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA).
While only a club sport at Michigan, the team competes throughout the
Midwest and on both coasts against other club teams and varsity
programs.
The
team practices at the Michigan Sailing Club on Baseline Lake. We start
practicing the first week of school in the fall and as soon as the ice
melts in the spring. Practices are held from 3:00 until dark Tuesday and
Thursday with optional practices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For
directions to our sailing site click here.
There are a couple ways to join the team.
1.) E-mail Zach Nerod (zachnero@umich.edu) our Recruitment Chair
2.) E-mail the Executive Board and ask for a ride to practice.
3.) Come to our weekly Monday Meetings (email eb@umich.edu for the location).
The
Michigan Sailing Team owns a fleet of 9 420's: 7 with 1999 hulls and 2 with 2000 hulls. We also own 2 FJ's. FJ's and 420's
are the standard boats for MCSA regattas. By joining the Michigan
Sailing Team each member also becomes a member of the Michigan Sailing
Club and gains access to its fleet of 14 JY-15's and 5 2003 Lasers. We
are always looking to improve our fleet and we do a large amount of
fundraising every year to support our fleet replacement fund.
The
team is run entirely by its elected executive board and general
membership. If you have any questions or comments please contact the
executive board or the team captains.
