This time we go back to Spring 1986 when they went on location to report on the Imperial College Sailing Club. This is the only time that the Sailing Club was featured in the archive. I am pleased to see that the club is still going strong (unlike STOIC) and can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperialcollegeunion.org\/activities\/a-to-z\/sailing\">Union<\/a> website and also on their own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/imperialcollegesailing\">Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/files\/2024\/08\/Sailing-FELIX-1954.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"124\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11676 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/files\/2024\/08\/Sailing-FELIX-1954-300x124.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>I&#8217;ve done my usual troll through the archive issues of Felix and the earliest item about the club can be found in issue <a href=\"https:\/\/f001.backblazeb2.com\/file\/felixonlinearchive\/issues\/pdfs\/felix_62.pdf\">number 62<\/a> from May 1954. The report tells us that the Sailing Club won the University of London Championship for the fourth year in a run! It also tells us an intriguing story about having to buy a lorry to transport the boats when they went to Ireland.
