Welcome to the MIT Bluewater Sailing Wiki

This wiki contains information about MIT's coastal sailing program.

With his gift of Nevermore in 2007, Ralph Reis '48 kicks off MITNA's second quarter-century of bluewater sailing, which was started by Albert Hopeman '34 with the donation of his 38-foot sloop Aleida, put into regular service by MITNA crews and skippers in 1981!
