Club Owned Yachts

The sailing club began in 1987 with a fleet of 12 white J/24s. These were numbered 1 to 12. The white fleet is now 14 boats in size and still numbered the same. More recently, as the club has been expanding J/24s, these newly added boats have been painted red and named after the great clipper ships which used to sail in the harbor in the 1800s. Below is a list of club-owned boats:

J/24s

Sovereign of the Seas

Stag Hound

Swordfish
