This is the racing Laser.
RS Feva is a two-person sailing dinghy that’s a great option for doublehanded youth sailing. As a transition from singlehanded boats, the RS Feva is a better size for younger or smaller sailors than traditional fiberglass options, and offers a high performance sail plan with asymmetric spinnaker. It transitions easily to a recreational singlehander for adults.
CFJ is a light, maneuverable boat at 13 feet long, 4 feet wide and weighing in around 220 lbs. It’s designed to go upwind, fast. Narrow bow entry and a more rounded hull shape than the C420 means better upwind feel at the sacrifice of the ease of planing.
Laser - The Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering, and trimming techniques as well as tactical excellence. The Laser is the single-handed Olympic class dinghy and is raced on the Club, National and International Class levels.
C420 allows sailors to learn teamwork, trapeze, and spinnaker techniques that simply can't be learned in single-handed boats. Safe for beginning sailors and quick enough to keep collegiate All-Americans interested, sailors graduating from the Optimist class will find the C420 to be manageable and a lot of fun.
29er is a pure and simple design, offering a fun, high-speed ride, at a relatively affordable price. An ISAF recognized class, the 29er has quickly become the boat of choice for high performance youth sailing and training. Simple control systems and light rig loads create the perfect sailing package for all ages and genders.
Open 5.70 is designed for sailors who have enjoyed exhilarating surfing on dinghies or catamarans and want to once again find the same sensations on a small keelboat. The easy to handle asymmetrical spinnaker drives the boat downwind at speeds that can exceed 18 knots.
