Our Fleet

The Community Sailing Center is committed to constantly improving and upgrading our fleet of over 50 boats. The upkeep and replacement programs for our boats ensures that our instructional programs and race teams will have the latest in sailing technology.

Keelboats

23'Sonar

The 23' Sonar one-design keelboat has something for everybody. It is a unique one-design that combines features found in no other sailboat in the world. It is sleek, powerful, stable and exceptionally fast. Sonar is also a comfortable daysailer just right for getting the entire family or friends on the water together. With its 11 foot cockpit, angled seatbacks and plenty of leg room, you can easily take 6 friends along! No other boat of this size (or even much larger) can make this claim.


19' Rhodes

The Rhodes 19 is a two or three person, 19 foot, one design sailboat. The Rhodes provides excellent day sailing and competitive racing for families, couples and individuals. Designed by leading naval architect Philip Rhodes over 50 years ago, the Rhodes 19 has evolved into a popular, exciting and inexpensive sailboat with a strong national following.


Community Sailing Center also has 2 boats, which make it easier for people with physical disabilities.

Adaptive Sonar

This Sonar has been adapted so that the skipper sits facing forward without the need to switch sides as the boat turns. Encircling this gimbaled seat is a horizontal steering wheel. It is a very clever concept designed by our Founding Director and architect, Marcel Beaudin. The Sonar sails with 2-10 people and has a heavy keel under the bottom, which makes for excellent stability.


Martin 16

This single or double-handed keelboat (again, will not flip over) was designed to level the playing field and let people with physical disabilities race in open fleets without a time or distance handicap. Just sailor against sailor. The product is this 16' sailboat that gives independence to people who may live much of their lives with other people's help. The Martin 16 is the boat used for the Mobility Cup, an international regatta for disabled sailors.

 

Dinghies

420

Our 420 fleet consists of brand new PS200 Club 420's The Club 420 is a superb boat and the right boat for junior sailing, a perfect step in the progression from junior to collegiate racing. The Club 420 is the junior and instructional boat of choice at more and more schools, clubs and sailing organizations across America with over 350 organizations maintaining active fleets.

14' Hobie One

As easy to launch as it is to operate, the Hobie One-14 is the ideal beginner's boat. The Hobie One is so agile that even seasoned sailors will appreciate its easy handling. It is designed for stability with positive foam floatation that makes it virtually unsinkable. The Hobie One-14 comes equipped with Hobie Cat's exclusive non-conductive Comptip mast which ensures the boat will not turtle.

 

Escapes

These boats are great starter sailboats and are durable to withstand unimaginable punishment. They're fast, lightweight, and extremely stable. These tough polyethylene sailboats are perfect for those just learning to sail, or for experienced sailors looking for simple sailing excitement. Complete with a self-teaching sailing system (just match the colors), Escape's patented hull design makes these sailboats 3 times less likely to tip than a regular sailboat.

 

O'pen Bic

The fast, planing hull of the O'pen Bic gives a dynamic sailing experience of a true dinghy that heels. Being at the helm of this powerful machine gives you the same excitement normally experienced on a boat for adults. With its Open design, including a totally open self draining stern, even capsizing is fun! Young sailors are fully independent on the water and will be proud to sail such a modern-looking and elegant boat, one that both sails and looks like the boat of today's champions.

 

Paddling

Canoes and Kayaks

The Community sailing Center is also a favorite spot to launch and store canoes and kayaks. We maintain a rental fleet of canoes and kayaks. Included are a few double kayaks. This is an excellent way to enjoy the Lake with minimal experience.
