The IUP Sailing Club has introduced a dozen new saliors to the water this Fall, with many making progress on their US Sailing certification Red Books.

Our experienced (and some newer) sailors travelled to compete at three MAISA regattas this fall as well.

Club dues and student activities funds help. But collaborations with Friends of Yellow Creek, many volunteers, and donations make it possible.

If you can support IUP Sailing financially, please consider a tax-deductible donation through the IUP Foundation.

IUP Sailing is an extracurricular activity and club sport at IUP. Secure giving via the IUP Foundation

Our wish list includes:

• Foul weather gear for sailors
• New sails

Your support allows students to explore the park, gain an entree to a lifetime hobby, build relationships, develop confidence, and practice leadership. Please write iupsailingclub@gmail.com or sherwood@iup.edu with questions or interest.

 

 

Friends, parents, and alumni, you are invited to contribute to the future of IUP Sailing.  Our fleet (of used JY15s launched in Fall of 2012.) Our goal is to replace these with newer FJs or 420s which are used by our peer clubs.

It will soon be April 15th. Please consider a tax deductible donation.

Below are some archive images from the first seasons of IUP Sailing 2.0.  We’ve had over a decade of sailing and perhaps a hundred alumni. We’ve moved the base, gone on a Spring Break training trip in North Carolina, and sent teams to regattas hosted by Gannon, Penn State, and Drexel.

These JY15s were well-used when we purchased them in 2012.  With your help, we can upgrade the fleet for the next decade.
