After many years of planning, perseverance and negotiations, the UConn Sailing Team is proud to announce the finalization of paperwork for our new home at Lisicke Beach on Coventry Lake.
The new location has excellent implications for the future of the team. The ease of access due to close location will allow for several, longer practices each week to enable our sailors to work harder to hone their skills, as well as a more flexible schedule allowing more people to participate in sailing, either for recreation or as a competitive racing member of the team.
The 5-year contract starts this spring, and we’re excited to be hosting our first home regatta at Lisicke Beach, the Tyrell Trophy, on April 12, 2015. We encourage families, friends, and alumni to come out for the event and help us celebrate this momentous event in UConn Sailing history. Expect big things from UConn Sailing in the coming seasons.
Stay tuned for more updates about spring practices later in the semester!
Farewell for now, Avery Point!
