Sail Boats |
||
| Blanchard Junior Knockabout | ||
| 20 feet - Sloop Rig | ||
| The Blanchard Junior Knockabout is a responsive yet forgiving boat, and for this reason it is a favorite of our instructors for teaching sailing lessons. Our livery has four of these unique daysailers. More Info. | ||
| Beetle Cat | ||
| 12 feet - Gaff Rig | ||
| A fun boat to sail, our livery has two Beetle Cats. The Beetle Cat is best sailed by one or two people, but no more, due to its small size and long tiller. When sailed solo, the sailor should sit near the centerboard trunk so that the weight is in the middle of the boat and the tiller can easily be moved from side to side. More Info. | ||

| The Cape Ann Dory is a fine boat to either sail or row. The Q’Ona has room for two or three people. Be sure to note the “thole pins,” vertical wooden pegs used as oarlocks for rowing. More Info. | ||
