U of M Team getting new boats!
After three years of fundraising, the University of Michigan Sailing Team reached the first half of our $200,000 Capital Campaign goal and purchased a brand new fleet of twelve FJs. The boats, scheduled to be delivered from Zim within the next week, can’t come soon enough; the team’s 420s (which are older than their freshman recruits) are on their last legs.
