HOBIE WAVE
The Hobie Wave is the perfect boat for a first sail – you can feel the wind and hear the water and you just might get wet!
HOBIE GETAWAY
The Hobie Getaway is all about fun. It is an extremely spacious and stable catamaran for families and friends to enjoy. With a boomless mainsail and furling jib - the Getaway is absolutely simple to use, yet delivers some surprisingly smooth speed.
AMERICAN 18
The American 18 is a sloop-rigged day sailor, and one of our main training boats for new sailors or sailors wishing to brush up on their skills.
Two hour lesson sessions
You and Your Friends

For Women Learning to Sail
Learn with our Luffing Lassies
Every year in the fall, the Luffing Lassies host a two week-long Introduction to Sailing (ITS) Program. The goal is to teach women how to skipper a Sunfish so they can join the Lassies for Thursday races throughout the school year. The ITS program is geared to first time sailors or those who wish to brush up on their Sunfish skills. It is the first step to becoming a Luffing Lassie and joining a great group of women who love to sail.
