WELCOME TO THE MICHIGAN SAILING CLUB!
All are welcome at the Michigan Sailing Club. We are co-operative club dedicated to the pleasure and fellowship of small-boat sailing.
Our all-volunteer club offers sailing, racing, windsurfing, paddle-craft, swimming, and leisurely day-sailing on Baseline Lake. Members also enjoy barbecues, educational seminars, family events, sailing instruction, and the fellowship of sailors who share their talents and enthusiasm.
We provide a sailing facility to the local community as well as to UM students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Michigan Sailing Team. Our members are individuals from the UM community and beyond in SE Michigan who love to sail and windsurf. Join us at our waterfront clubhouse near Dexter and meet friendly new people while enjoying the sport of sailing during spring, summer, and fall.
