PSU sailing: It's a great time to start sailing!

Hey Sailors and Future Sailors,
Welcome to everyone who signed up today for the Sailing email list.
I encourage all the new people and people who haven't stopped by the
club to check out our website at:

www.Sailing.groups.pdx.edu

You can
find pretty much any info you need there. This weekend is our final
collegiate regatta (fancy word for a boat race) for the year but we
will be doing plenty of sailing and racing over the summer. Here is
the basics:

Club Sailing -
To be part of club sailing you must be a PSU Student (undergrad or
graduate), faculty, or staff member. DOn't worry if you are not
because we will be offering sailing lessons over the summer for a
nominal fee. To join the club, just come to practice (driving/ bus
directions on the website) monday, wednesday, or friday around 3:30.
We will be down in the clubhouse on the docks, just go down the ramp
and you should see it. There is also a couple high school teams that
practice at the same time, so ask for PSU Sailing. No experience is
necessary.

Racing Team -
To be come part of the racing team you must be a undergraduate
enrolled in at least 12 credits. This is a Inter Collegiate Sailing
Association rule so we must follow it. We travel a few weekends a
month during the school year to race other schools. To join the
racing team stop by the club during our practice times. No experience
is necessary.

If anyone wants to see some college racing, go to a BBQ, and hangout
with sailors, we will be hosting a regatta this weekend at Cascade
Locks in the Gorge, one of the best places to sail in the world. we
will be sailing saturday from 9 to around 5, followed by a BBQ and
social event and camping over night. sunday we will race from 9:30 to
3. let me know if you plan on coming out and i'll give you
directions. it's only about a 45 minute drive.

We hope to have an open house in the coming weeks for new people to
check it out but we are still in the planning process. Don't let that
stop you from coming down to club in the mean time, it's the perfect
time to start sailing!
