Co-op Boat Fleet
SanJuan 21 (the Club owns 8) - these keelboats are great for a family of up to 4 for an afternoon sail or join in the racing with a crew of three. More about these boats on the local SanJuan 21 fleet's website.


J24 (the Club owns 1) - The J/24 is an international One-Design keelboat class, created to fulfill the diverse needs of recreational sailors such as cruising, one design racing, day sailing, and handicap racing. It is the world's most popular One-Design keelboat (more than 50,000 people sailing 5,500 boats worldwide). 


This high performance keelboat is a welcome addition to the Club's Co-op Boat program.

420 (the Club owns 9) - These boats are excellent for all ages. For Youth, they fit into the Long Term Athlete Development Plan and are the transition boat from single-handed to double-handed sailing and particularly for youth wanting to advance to the 29er. For post-secondary students the 420 is the boat used at more than 200 universities in Canada and the USA for collegiate sailing programs. For adults these are great boats for two people to learn to sail / advance their sailing. 


Laser (the Club owns 15) - The Club's Lasers have multiple sail plans (4.7 / Radial / Full) to accommodate sailors as they grow and gain experience. The Laser is the most popular training and racing dinghy in the world.
