The Sailing Club has been afloat for 26 years, and this has been its best year ever, according to Woodall. Next fall, it will dedicate the McCurdy Regatta, named in honor of its faculty adviser of 25 years, Wallace H. McCurdy Jr, associate professor emeritus of chemistry. During the season, the Delaware club has competed against teams from St. Mary's, Princeton, Rutgers, Washington College and the U.S. Naval Academy. Racing is not the only interest of the club's 70 sailors.
Some members are only interested in the sport as recreation.
The club is planning more recreational adventures for next year, such as day-long leisure sailing and overnight trips. From September to November, and again from February until June, sails are hoisted and boats are cruising. Participating in the Sailing Club involves a commitment through the full school year. Club members are not all experts. Md. For more information, call 837-8284.
