University of Miami Sailing

outh Florida, Eckerd College, UNC, UGA, Duke, and the University of Florida. With the ideal sailing conditions in Miami and Biscayne Bay, UM is the perfect place for a collegiate sailing team. The team currently practices at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club in 8 Flying Juniors (FJ's) owned by CGSC. The majority of collegiate regattas are held in two-person Club 420s and Flying Juniors, or one-person Lasers. While we are a student run organization we have 4 dedicated and outstanding volunteer coaches from the Miami sailing community, enabling us to hold practice 4 days per week and accommodate students different class schedules. Team members are required to attend at least half of all practices and meetings to be considered "active members". The University funds about half of our budget through the Student Activities Fund Committee (SAFAC), covering practice/facility expenses and travel within our district plus championships. Expenses for travel to out-of-district intersectionals is funded solely through private donations. Traveling to the New England or mid-Atlantic intersectionals to compete against the best teams in the country is extremely expensive due to the cost of airfare.
