The Wisconsin Hoofer s Conference Instruction Sailing Program is definitely something that you will want to catch. Imagine relaxing on the bow of a sailing boat while a qualified Hoofer instructor guides you across the clear, blue, waters of beautiful Lake Mendota. With a little time and motivation, that is exactly what you will be doing this summer while in Madison.
Hoofers offer a variety of sailing packages to accommodate all of our guests.
So whether you are a complete novice or have sailed on the America s Cup racing team, we have something to offer. The only requirement needed to participate is that you are a UW-Madison conference attendee or a member of the Wisconsin Union. This package allows you the freedom to see the lake by yourself and at your own pace. A short assessment of sailing ability is required. This package requires no prior knowledge of sailing, and is perfect for those who want to sit back and enjoy the scenery.
