team has,

Unknown to most students, the URI existence, been

in its 30 years of

one

of the most

successful of the school's athletic squads. URI was national champion in 1965. Since then, the school has

produced

three Ail-Americans.

In recent years, however, the national

championship

has been very elusive. Even though they were ranked first in the nation going into the eliminations for the

nationals last spring, the team failed to qualify. This spring, the championship regatta will be held at a site where URI has been quite successful in the past the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.

Sailing team was completely reorganized this year. Mac Cuddy was hired as the new coach. The women's team was merged with the men's and given

The
