OUR ORGANIZATIONThe Michigan Sailing Team is a Club Sport at the University of Michigan. We are affiliated with the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association (MCSA), a conference in the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA). Our sailors compete across the Midwest and on both coasts. We sail in both dinghy and keelboat events, and we compete in both co-ed and women's regattas. Our program has consistently qualified for a variety of national sailing events. TEAM MISSIONTo provide opportunities and to represent the University of Michigan across a range of competitive sailing events. TEAM INFOThe 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, Thursday, and Friday. There are a few ways to join the team. 1.) Come to our weekly Monday Meetings (email sailing.exec@umich.edu for the location).2.)

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 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.
