The fleet
Four boats, drawn to one scale, because the step up is the whole argument for the ladder.
Osprey
24 ft sloop
Tiller, no winches worth the name, and a rig you can see all of. Deliberately the simplest boat we own.
- Used for
- Basic keelboat, docking clinic
- Courses
- 2
Kestrel
24 ft sloop
Sister to Osprey, so a student can move between the two without relearning anything.
- Used for
- Basic keelboat, practice membership
- Courses
- 1
Marlin
32 ft sloop
Wheel, two cabins, a galley that works. First boat most students meet with an engine that matters.
- Used for
- Coastal cruising, night sailing
- Courses
- 2
Tern
36 ft sloop
Close enough to a charter boat that the week before a charter is genuinely useful.
- Used for
- Bareboat preparation
- Courses
- 1
All four carry the safety equipment required for the water we sail on, checked before each session. We are not publishing a safety record on this page; ask and you will get a straight answer on the phone.
