•nr SRILINC Sailing is one of UMO's vorsity sports that has been overlooked for o long, long time. Years ago, Maine used to hove the best soil- ing team on the East Coast. Now the students try to race with be- aten up boots that are 15-20 years old. According to Charlie Komar, team coach and a sailor as well, the team got off to a slow start this season because they hod to repair the boats before they could begin practice. The eight, 12 foot fiberglass dinghys were supposed to hove been repaired during the summer by a work- study student but it wasn't done. Other schools start practice on Sept. 1 with o coach. The repair delays and lock of a coach put UMaine at an early disadvan- tage. Since the team has only enough money to cover travel- ling expenses, Komar volun- teered to coach. In his eyes the team has the potential to be ranked with the top ten sailing teams in the country. The 45 member team practices three hours a day, five days a week at Pushaw Lake. If the female half of the team could be a seperate unit, Komar feels they could be All-American. This win- ter the team will concentrate on raising enough money to refinish the boats. Komar and Dean Lucy have been working on on idea for a sailing course to increase sup- port and interest in the sailing team. Someday, Komar's vision of UMaine in the top ten may come true.
