Sailing

The NMU Sailing Club puts Northern Michigan’s largest natural resource to good use. Based out of Lower Harbor, the Sailing Club sets sail on Lake Superior in both the fall and spring seasons. The racing members compete at regattas across the Midwest under the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association (MCSA) a regional denomination of the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA). Recreational members are welcome to open sails and allowed to travel with the racing team.
