Our most popular boats (click in the pictures to enlarge)

420s: : Our brand new two-handed dinghies. Used in intercollegiate racing. Usually sailed at lake Lanier. Most of the sailing instruction is done in the 420s. We own six of these boats

Lasers: One handed 14-foot dinguies. Very competitive and maneuverable. Lasers are an olympic class, and we own five of them.

Hobie 16s: The world's most popular catamaran. Usually sailed double handed, but they can easily fit 4 people. We usually sail the hobie 16s at Florida and Hatteras trips. We have 5 of them.

 

Windsurfers: The fastest watercraft we own (if you sail them in the appropriate wind). We have many different boards from longboards to shortboards and huge sail inventory.

Nacra 5.5: The Nacra 5.5 is the fastest catamaran we have. It has daggerboards so we plan on sailing it at Lake Lanier only.

 

J24s: Very nice 24-foot keelboats. One of the most competitive and popular one-design boats in the world. We own two of these boats.
