Our History:
The Purdue Sailing club was founded over 50 years ago. The club has actually come a long way since then but most of our ideals are still the same ones set by the club many years ago. The club started with just a couple fine sailors and grew. No body knows the exact date that the club was founded, but We have trophies that this club has won dating all the way back to 1952.
