The Sailing Club at the University of Akron was created in 2008 and currently sails aboard their Club FJ on the Portage Lakes, about 20 minutes from campus. Club activities include learn to sail lessons, recreational sailing events, on-shore get-togethers, and sailboat racing. The team competes against the other schools in the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association.
Doug Keller is the coach.
Sailors of all experience levels are encouraged to join. Previous sailing or racing experience is not necessary. The only requirement to join is to have an interest in sailing and to be a full-time student at The University of Akron. Debra Keller is the faculty advisor.
