Sailing
The UCLA MAC currently provides classes in small boat sailing (under 16 feet in length). At one time there was an active keelboat program but it is no longer present at the facility.
The UCLA Learn to Sail Manual is available free to the general public.
The MAC is also home to the UCLA Sailing Team, a recognized Collegiate Club Sport which competes within the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference and the Intercollegiate Sailing Association.

Famous quotes containing the word sailing:
“I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.”
—Unknown. As I Sat on a Sunny Bank. . .
Oxford Book of Light Verse, The. W. H. Auden, ed. (1938)
“To sunny waters some
By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
Or darting salmon.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
Of time sailing like a magic barque
Or something as fine for the amenities....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
