A ranking of Midwest Collegiate Sailing Teams released this week puts the Michigan Tech Sailing Team at #8 in the Midwest. This puts Michigan Tech ahead of regional powerhouses Michigan (#9), Ohio State(#10), Purdue(#14), and rival Northern Michigan(#18).

The rankings were produced by SailMichigan.org, an online sailing information database that examines sailing in the state of Michigan, in an attempt to gain more recognition for competitive sailing teams in the midwest.

Hey Sailors!

With the class ending and the weather getting colder, I think we’re going to change up cruising. We’re going to stop having the regular cruising sessions on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. If you want to go out cruising, send me or anyone on the eboard an email and we’ll get you out there. That way we don’t have to sit down at the docks for three hours if nobody is coming. I still hope you guys want to get out there a few more times before the snow falls!

Sailors,

Hope you had a long relaxing weekend. We are having a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday September 6 in Wads G41W at 8pm. If you have not paid dues yet please bring it with you ($25 for cruising, $100 for race team). You are not allowed to sail more than twice without paying dues. The topics we will discuss tomorrow are:

-what type of gear you should be wearing sailing
-club shirt ideas: shirt designs, team flannel?
-logging hours
-dues
-break into cruising and race team, cruisers will learn how to practice tacking on shore and racers will talk about the upcoming regattas and practice times

Hope to see everyone there!
