<p>I love sailing too - I don’t have my own boat yet but I would definitely love to purchase one once I get a real job and get out of school. I worked at a sailing camp for a couple of summers and really miss it.</p>
<p>I think you’re going to have to travel a little bit to find a lake big enough to be worth sailing on that also rents boats - there’s Lake Townsend by Greensboro, Lake Norman near Charlotte, and Jordan Lake near UNC-CH (I have a bunch of friends in UNC’s sailing club and they practice here). I haven’t been to Lake Townsend but I found them through a Google search and they appear to be a public yacht club with a fleet that they rent out to the public…so that would probably be your best bet.</p>
<p>There’s also Belews Lake (north of town) and Salem Lake, but I’m not sure that either of them rent boats.</p>
<p>If you look at the Club Sports Handbook, it’ll outline the process of starting a club for you: [WFU</a> | Campus Recreation](<a href=“Campus Recreation - Campus Recreation”>Campus Recreation - Campus Recreation)</p>
