Our Teaching Vessel

Catalina Capri Sloop ‘Superna’
Our Philosophy: We believe it is important that students should have the opportunity to sail on a sailboat that sails well. This is especially important to the beginning sailor. Once students have seen how a well-designed sailboat performs they know what is possible, and can then make a better decision on what sailboats to charter or purchase. Many other sailing schools utilize sailboats that simply do not sail well because they are not designed for performance. These sailboats are slow, won’t sail upwind well, don’t have as many sail controls, and aren’t as fun to sail. Our Catalina Capri is a cruising sailboat that is set up for racing. Few other cruising sailboats can match the performance of our Catalina Capri.
