If you’re interested in some
form of sailing—whether you
would just like to learn how or are
building your own boat, the
University’s Sailing Club could
have a place for you.

Of the Emerald
According to Mary Leitschuh,
secretary of the club, the club is
“hoping to get people who don’t
know anything about sailing to
come and find out about learning
how to sail and what they can do
in the club. We want to get more
members in the club so we can do
more things. We want to en

courage people who don’t know
anything about it to come and
learn.”
The club is planning a cruise of
the San Juan Islands during
spring vacation and a slide show
of the San Juan area will be
presented at the meeting by Mike
Hughes. Hughes is interested in
getting together with people
interested in boat building and,
according to Leitschuh, is
building a concrete sailboat.
Sailing classes will be available
spring quarter carrying one P.E.
credit hour under CPE 157. The
class will carry a $15 fee for
maintenance of the boats, the
Skipper’s test (a test of ability to
handle the boat) and the mem
bership fee. This quarter
members of the club will give
lessons to people interested in
learning sailing on an informal
basis. “It’s something we thought
up,” said Leitschuh, “with
members willing to just go out
and teach people.”
The club is presently not
funded through the University
and gets its money through dues
and movies. While it originally
started out as a state corporation,
according to Jack Powers, vice
commodore, it is now becoming a
club sport which means it can
develop a racing team to compete
intercollegiately.
rresenuy tne ciud owns iwo
boats, C-Lark 14-footers, and has
four other boats on loan from the
YMCA at Dexter Reservoir.
Spring quarter the club hopes to
purchase more boats but they
currently need more money
Last year the club was small.
According to Leitschuh, “Not
many people knew about it. It
was more or less a group of
friends. We want to open it up to
anybody who’s interested.” This
year the club has about 40 or 50
members.
Those interested in racing will
find the club has a program for
racing, coached by Mike
Sherlock. Two years ago the
University Sailing Tam com
peted in the Douglas Cup races in
Long Beach, Calif., although
most of the the regattas they take
part in are usually in the North.
Officers of the club are Mike
Runyon, commodore; Jack
Powers, vice commodore; Paula
Smith, treasurer; and Mary
Leitschuh, secretary. Faculty
advisor is Paul Campbell of the
Department of Education.
Anyone interested in the club or
more information about it can
