words have in common? Sailing!
The University of Michigan Sail-
ing Club was founded in 1938 by a
small group of naval architects at the
University.Since 1954,theyhavebeen
situated at Baseline Lake, ap-
proximately 25 minutes northwest of
Ann Arbor.
"We are a student organization for
the University," club president and
commodoreKevinBosleysaid."We're
open to anyone who wants to join. And
theonly difference is thenon-students
pay a higher dues rate. Basically we
teach sailing, wind-surfing, and then
we maintain a fleet of boats and
sailboards for people to use."
The sailing club's fleet consists of
15 International470s,six International
420s and six Lasers. Lasers are single-
handed boats, meaning they are made
to sail with one person. The I-470s are
double-handed boats. The skipper
drives the boat while the crew person
rigs the jib. I-420s are a smaller ver-
sion of the470s. Bothnames (470 and
420) are derived from their metric
length in centimeters.
"Inadditiontotheregularsailboats,
we also have some sailboards,"
dockmaster Ron Hoodin said. "That's
