A sailboat returns to Santa Cruz Harbor on\u00a0Wednesday,\u00a0May 2 after a day on Monterey Bay. The San Jose\u00a0City College sailing club\u00a0plans boating trips on local waterways, including Lake Vasona and Lake Cunningham as well as trips out of the Santa Cruz Harbor.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would-be sailors, take note: There is a new club on campus that might just \u201cshiver your timbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

A group of five enthusiasts assembled on campus Friday, April 27 to establish the Sailing Club.<\/p>\n

The club is the brainchild of English instructor and Academic Senate President Charles Heimler, who has been a sailor of small boats since an early age, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have taught basic, intermediate and advanced sailing,\u201d Heimler\u00a0said. \u201cMy dream is that people start sailing at San Jose City College. People don\u2019t know about local waterways where you can actually go sailing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heimler said many skills you learn in sailing actually have job opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (students) get into the maritime program, and then they transfer to Cal State University, Vallejo, which is also the California Maritime Academy,\u201d Heimler said. \u201cYou can get a bachelor\u2019s degree in maritime and then go on into some really cool jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the jobs listed on the club\u2019s mission statement are: Coast Guard, facilities
\nmanagement, yacht club and nautical design and construction.<\/p>\n

The group plans to start sailing as soon as a date can be decided upon, and it will most likely be on a Friday or Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have access to boats we can use,\u201d Heimler said, adding that the best way to learn to sail is by doing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll do a little show and tell for folks who have never been \u2018afloat\u2019 before,\u201d air conditioning and refrigeration instructor Kieron Connolly said, another lifelong sailing enthusiast. \u201cFor us who are more seasoned, our capacity would be more on an advisory level to get this thing rolling on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connolly said the club is a great way to get people interested in sailing.\u00a0 For others, it is a great excuse to find time to get back on the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began sailing many moons ago, but haven\u2019t done much sailing in the last several years,\u201d said Evergreen Valley College biology professor Jack Baker. \u201cThis club could get me out sailing again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group plans to start organizing trips within the next few weeks so summer events can be planned before the end of the semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to start meeting once a week and build up for some activities during the summer and into next year,\u201d Heimler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is to get people on the water that would not normally be on the water,\u201d Connolly said. \u201cThrough exposure to sailing, people get the feel of water.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club hopes to meet in the next few weeks before finals to determine where the first sailing event will occur.<\/p>\n
