UD Club Sailing
Help replace aging boats after years of wear, ensuring a safer, stronger future for our fleet.

About This Project

The UD Club Sailing fleet has been the heart of our program for years-supporting training, competition and unforgettable experiences on the water. After countless seasons of use, our boats are showing significant wear and tear that impacts performance, safety and accessibility for sailors of all experience levels.

This project is about revitalizing our fleet and investing in the future of our sailing community. Funds raised will go toward repairing and ultimately replacing aging boats so we can provide safer, more reliable equipment for current and future sailors. By upgrading our fleet, we ensure that everyone, from beginners stepping into a boat for the first time to experienced sailors competing at a high level, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Your support helps preserve a program built on teamwork, resilience and adventure. Every donation brings us closer to a stronger, safer fleet and a sustainable future on the water.

How your support makes a difference! 

The UD Club Sailing team has given us more than time on the water. It has given us lifelong friendships, a sense of belonging and a community we carry with us far beyond college. Our boats are where we learn to trust one another, push through challenges, celebrate wins and form bonds that last long after the sails come down.

After years of heavy use, much of our fleet is showing significant wear and tear, which affects both safety and accessibility. Donor support directly helps repair and replace aging boats so students can continue to train, compete and build meaningful connections on the water. With reliable equipment, sailors of all experience levels can participate confidently and fully.

Your gift doesn’t just support boats, it supports a community. It helps ensure future students have the same opportunities to grow, form lifelong friendships and be part of a team that shapes who they become.


Gifts may also be used as general support for UD Club Sailing.
