The Sailing Team at Michigan Tech participates in collegiate regattas throughout the Midwest. Any undergraduate student may join. Most racing takes place in 420s, but we have also raced Flying Scotts, FJs, Lasers, and larger boats. Most of our practicing and racing takes place in the Fall semester, as the ice usually is not out of the Portage until the last couple weeks of school in the Spring.
Joining:
Simply show up at one of our race practice or cruising days.
Practice:
5:00 pm – 8:00 pm Mondays and Wednesdays
You will be required to attend at least one practice the week of a regatta; however, if you plan on going to regattas, it is strongly encouraged that you attend more. If this does not work with your schedule, contact us, and we can try to work something out.
Location:
Houghton Skate Park lot next to the Super 8.
Dues:
Dues for the race team are $50.00 for the year and $20.00 per regatta.
This covers boat use and housing and transportation to and from regattas.
