Sailing Fleet Grows

Two new additions are coming this summer for the Chippewa sailors. On order are two Hobie Waves, made possible through gifts from alumni with a love for sailing. These 13' catamarans are a blast. The large sail on these nimble boats make them a fast, fun and wet addition to the Chippewa fleet. Best of all, they are quick to rig. A quick pull on the main halyard, push off of the Cass Lake beach and you'll be underway.

Maybe Jolson will finally have his day of sailing.

(sorry guys, the girls aren't included.)

Simon..not so much! Phil would appreciate it if you stay over on Buck Lake.

Mario...good start. Pugamaran is truly a winner.

I just want to assure all of you that I will, without question, be the first to catch a fish from one of these!
