BOATS

Turnabouts:  A safe, stable trainer with a single mainsail and a small spinnaker.  Room for several beginners and an instructor make this an ideal entry level boat.

Optimist Dinghies (Optis):  A single-handed advanced dinghy for younger racers.  The Foundation owns four Optis; most opti sailors provide their own.

420s:  The universal US sailing double-handed training boat used by teenage and collegiate sailors.  The 420 is used in our Advanced Class. The Foundation owns twelve 420s.
