This class meets at the University Bay Fields. Meet over by the shelter on the Northwest part of the fields.  Students will be introduced to the sport of kiting and will learn how to safely fly the kite on land. Students will work in pairs to practice launching and flying the kites. For information on the Kiting fleet we recommend reading the Winter Kiting Manual. For some introductory video's that will help you get up and flying quickly check these out!

Winter Kiting Checksheet

In this seminar we will be taking a hands on approach to preventative maintenence and troubleshooting of winches. Each of us will get the opportunity to take a winch apart from start to finish, begin to understand the inner workings and put it all back together with ease. Instructors that atttend this will also be encouraged to teach this lesson to members when not sailing. We will be working with greasy parts so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Limited participation available so sign up early! 

These classes are stand-alone seminars presented by Hoofer instructors and other Hoofer friends. These are free, and a current membership is not required for winter education, so feel free to invite your friends.

Hello Everyone!!

Spring is coming and that means soon the lakes will be free and we can paddle outdoors again! In preparation for the paddling season I will be sorting through our canoes and gear in the boathouse, assessing, looking at what needs fixing, taking inventory etc. I would love to have some help! If you are an active canoer within the club or looking to become more involved, this is a good opportunity to learn more about the gear resources available to us and how to care for/repair them, any and all levels of knowledge welcome!

Feel free to sign up so I have an idea of how many folks are coming and join me on Saturday March 30^th at 1 pm in Mendota Lodge and then we can move to the boathouse.  Baked goods to be provided! Come look at canoes and dream about summer adventures with me!

Hoofer Council meets weekly from 8:00 to 9:30 pm on Mondays. Your Commodore, Lukas Duddleston, represents the club at the Hoofer Council level. If you had ideas, questions, concerns, etc. that you believe should be taken up at the Council level, please email the Commodore at commodore@hoofersailing.org.

Additionally, this year's VP-Admin on Council is one of our own, Charlie Childs. She also serves as the sailing club's treasurer. 

The Weather According to Lake Mendota;

There are many local weather phenomena unique to Lake Mendota.  This class will concentrate on local weather patterns that are often created by the local topography that surrounds the lake. If you have ever wondered why puffs of wind come down from an almost cloudless sky and hit the surface of the lake, or if you have ever wondered where on the lake the winds are best on any given day, this is a must-attend seminar.

Expanding from the local view, attendees shall get a grounding in how to interpret various weather charts, a skill that every serious sailor should know.    The best sources for weather reports and charts will also be covered in detail so that anyone who attends can learn to start looking farther out than today in order to have an idea of what weather they shall face for their sail.     

Weather forecasting is both a science and an art.  Weather forecasting is also about weather patterns that repeat again and again.  This seminar presents both, with valuable sources and knowledge that add to the knowledge-base of any sailor.
