That is a Cub boat, otherwise known as the Inland Lake Yachting Association's "Class X" in the background, although the X on the sail designates the Pine Lake Yacht Club (A = Little Cedar, B = Beulah, I = Geneva, M = Minnetonka, V = Pewaukee.)

Our newly appointed provost was with Old Dominion for a while, although I suspect maintaining a finishing school for up-and-coming sailors (I know of several Inland sailors that have enrolled at Old Dominion) is probably not among his priorities here.
