He is dry. Safety boats are ready at all times. Established in 1938, the University of Michigan Sailing Club is run as a cooperative, and anyone interested in sailing is welcome to join. Membership is contingent only upon a person's ability to swim 50 yards. All instructors are volunteers, and the 250 to 300 members mow the lawn, repair the docks and maintain the boats and boathouse.
Safety is a top priority for club members.
All boats must be sailed within sight of the dock and safety crews are ready and waiting at all times. Also, no boat may be sailed without a rated member. Building that foundation begins on Saturday mornings. The club offers instruction from 9 am to 1 pm, and lessons include shoreside lectures and individual lessons on a sailboat or sailboard. Members can put their skills to the test on Sundays in the intra-club races.
