Some Fall updates:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
- We are in the process of getting our own 420's! We have two on hold for us up in Buffalo and are waiting for the University to sort out paperwork so we can get them trailered down and ready to use</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Find us at the involvement fair this Wednesday 9/9 from 11:30 to 2:30! We'll have cookies and an awesome new banner</div>

We are in the process of buying two used 420's for the team that will be ready to sail this coming fall season if all goes well! They will be shipped from New York down to Annapolis and off to DC for us.<br />
<br />
Other than that, a lot of fundraising is in the works.<br />
<br />
If you have any sailing experience and are an incoming freshman or transfer student who is looking to join the team contact auclubsailing@gmail.com and we can answer any questions you have. Having our own boats comes the ability to create our own practice schedule and the possibility to have a strong team this fall.<br />

As of this Spring, we are no longer using Georgetown's boats to practice with as we are looking to acquire our own boats to sail! This Spring was full of regattas at William and Mary and Christopher Newport as well as many fundraisers to raise money for boats.<br />
<br />
Follow us on Facebook or at auclubsailing on Instagram!<br />
<br />
Any donations for these new boats would be appreciated.<br />
We also have burgee stickers for sale as well as t-shirts!<br />

<div class="p1">
The team attended the South Spring Qualifier this past weekend and while we came out lower in the rankings, we came out on top with attitude! While we didn't qualify for the America's Trophy regatta later this month, we were able to get a lot of great races in and it was a great learning experience for all. Congrats to the University of Virginia, William and Mary and Hampton University for qualifying for the America's Trophy, and good luck! Additionally we would like to congratulate George Washington University, Christopher Newport University and the University of Maryland for qualifying for the Leroy Grant Regatta. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">While the Northwestern University and University of Chicago teams have had the manpower, coaches and membership numbers to keep developing, the American University sailing team has struggled to develop with the current economic situation, “Club Sailing is not a priority for the AU Athletic department in the least,” said Lisa Gabrielson, current president of the AU team. </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The team, who does not have their own fleet of boats, relies heavily on the support and generosity of the Georgetown and George Washington sailing teams, “both teams have huge fleets that they will let us practice on most days. Of course, this is not ideal, but we appreciate all the support we get from two other teams that are in our conference. Of course, our goal is to someday soon buy boats and we are launching a huge fundraising campaign this year to really get the ball rolling on that,” she said. Currently, the team is coach-less and does not have a faculty advisor, something that Gabrielson cites as an important way to keep some continuity with the team from year to year. However attempts to secure a faculty advisor have failed, “finding support for a team that has not won any national championships yet is hard.” According to Gabrielson, the dedicated team of 28 sailors in a campus of 6,000 undergraduates is seen as an unknown entity by most of the campus."</span></span><br />

-by Adam Taube: Rear Commodore/Secretary<br />
· Sailing team sweatshirt<br />
o $33 for the basic sweatshirt<br />
§ Has a burgee on the front<br />
§ For $5 extra, you can get it on the back too<br />
§ The price will continue to go down as more people order<br />
· check your email later because we’re going to be forming a contact sheet<br />
o available for everyone<br />
· Get your dues paid because we really need the money to pay for traveling to regattas<br />
o Pay lisa or brian asap<br />
o You will not be able to sail until you pay dues<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
· We can’t practice this week because Georgetown is on spring break<br />
· Paul is scheduling practices<br />
o We fill out the schedule on a weekly basis<br />
o Don’t sign up if you have a test or something and are going to flake<br />
o If you miss 2 practices without an excuse, you wont be sailing the next semester<br />
· Get Auto-Certified! There are classes that are free!<br />
o http://auto.ausg.org/ - SIGN UP<br />
o It will really help us get to practices<br />
· Everyone needs to take personal responsibility with their personal sailing experience<br />
o We need to know how experienced you are so that we know whether you need to practice!<br />
o There’s nothing wrong with being new or if you’ve forgotten some stuff<br />
o The only person you will hurt is yourself or your team<br />
o Brian is going to setup a written test to try to analyze where everyone on the team is at. We have to know roughly what level people are so we can match people to practice or race together.<br />
§ This will probably be soon after spring break<br />
· For upcoming regattas, check the googledoc we put out early this semester<br />
· All paperwork must be in before you sail<br />American University Club Sailinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14764011649349570323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417663417479236375.post-78187220230913545702012-02-29T14:12:00.002-08:002012-02-29T17:30:33.927-08:00DC SailDC Sail has been working with the AU Sailing Team and AU Club Sports in an effort to expand our program.

The American University Sailing Team has some exciting news- we<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjqpk4DEg7U9QoUzUK69tR3ZQuvLF82wWdFaiGN4HAG1ZQ861LcGiqiMvoftn0IqymlWTZOehrzGuj_VLNakSiA0PtVVZZcwDFbqHAf_NTSb4zqCIL0O0gGPJ-BwJrbn3-Xzfhec3HNiB/s1600/thermometer.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjqpk4DEg7U9QoUzUK69tR3ZQuvLF82wWdFaiGN4HAG1ZQ861LcGiqiMvoftn0IqymlWTZOehrzGuj_VLNakSiA0PtVVZZcwDFbqHAf_NTSb4zqCIL0O0gGPJ-BwJrbn3-Xzfhec3HNiB/s200/thermometer.gif" width="58" /></a>are currently in the process of acquiring 2 near-new Flying Juniors<br />
(FJs) for our quickly growing team! However, we need your support. We<br />
have set a fundraising goal of $6,000 so that we can purchase these<br />
boats- and we’re finally more than half way there!<br />
<br />
Having boats is vital to the continued success of our team. We are one<br />
of the few teams in the MAISA conference without our own boats, let<br />
alone a coach and other vital parts of a successful team. Yet, we have<br />
still been a competitive presence in college sailing and have had a<br />
steep increase in new sailors and prospective students interested in<br />
the sport or with experience. With our own boats that we can use on our<br />
own time rather than relying on the schedule of Georgetown and GW and their<br />
willingness to lend us boats out of their own fleet, we will continue<br />
this upward trend. While Georgetown and GW have been more than generous, their<br />
patience with our slow expansion won't last forever. We need these<br />
boats to stay competitive as a college sailing team!<br />
<br />
If you’re interested, there are a number of ways to donate to our team!<br />
Visit our <a href="http://auclubsailing.blogspot.com/p/donations-team-store.html">donations page</a> for links to both our donation page and<br />
to our team store, where you can buy some sweet AU Sailing gear!<br />
