COMMUNITY SAILING SCHOOL @ PISTAKEE

OUR SAILBOATS

Our Community Sailing School has a quite a variety of sailboats from small to medium and large. Our fleet includes Prams, Toppers, O'Pen Bics, 420s, a Flying Scot, and a Rhodes sailboat. Our rule of thumb is to use the sailboats that will best accommodate our sailors' age, their experience level and the type of class they are in. For example, our youngest students usually start out on a pram, whereas our adult classes normally use the 420s, which are about 14' in length and have a main and jib sail. We also have C-Scows that are available for our Wednesday Night Races.

OUR PADDLEBOARDS

Our sailing school also offers paddleboarding classes. We provide one-on-one instruction for those individuals who like the freedom of cruising all on their own as they explore Pistakee Bay, whether standing up or sitting down. You get to be both the captain and crew.
