IUP Sailing Club was happy to welcome guest from the swim club out to the lake on Sunday. We had sun and a perfect 6-10 knot breeze to introduce these aquatic experts to the pleasures of gliding on top of the water. Thanks to the volunteer skippers who helped get our everyone out on the water — and to our novice crew for stepping up and trimming those sheets. IUP students, alumni, and staff are invited to reach out for an introductory sail.
Late March and early April have featured some cool nights and plenty of rain. But our most intrepid sailors have been out three times. Getting ready for the blues skies, fair freezes, and warmth that is just around the corner! Shore school on Mondays at 6pm. Sunday sails carpooling from campus at noon. It’s not to late to join for Spring 2025.
IUP Sailing offers lessons for beginner and experts! You are welcome to join. In the cold weather months, we prepare through “Shore School” and when the weather warms, we head out to the lake. You can start at the beginning and explore all 15 skills associated with US Sailing.
