Hoofer Sailing Club

It is a hot debate throughout the Hoofer Sailing Club-are we a sailing club with a social problem, or a social club with a sailing problem? We'll leave that up for you to decide! Make sure you check out all of the great events the Hoofer Sailing Club has to offer throughout the year:

• Friday Night Socials: Friday socials are the place to be in Madison every Friday night! Meet friends down by the lakefront during the summer or at The Vintage during the winter for some great food, drinks, and socializing.
• Pirate's Day: A day-long celebration in June that celebrates the pirates before us! Dress up in pirate garb, search for hidden treasure, and try not to put another sunken ship on the bottom of Lake Mendota!
• Commodore's Cup: A week-long celebration at the end of July to celebrate a year of service from our wonderful Commodore. For this event, sailors are divided into teams and compete in events throughout the week to win the coveted Commodore's Cup trophy.
• Pumpkin Regatta: Each October, the Hoofer Sailing Club teams up with the UW Horticulture Society to create this truly unique event. How could you pass up the opportunity to say you paddled a pumpkin in Lake Mendota?!
• Buccanneers' Ball: Every year around the time of Halloween, Hoofers holds a costume ball for its members. Come dressed in your most creative Halloween costume, dance, compete in Halloween-themed games, and enjoy the spooky atmosphere.
• Snow Ball: The Snow Ball is an annual event held in February to lift sailors' spirits in the worst part of the non-sailing season. Dress to impress and dance the night away!
