Sailing Club
Our Fleet
 Tradewinds
Sailing Club offers both brand new and classic boats--from Hunter,
Beneteau, Catalina and others--representing a selection of the most popular
brands of boats in use today. We
choose boats that are affordable to maintain and affordable to own, representing
the type of boat you might want to buy someday.
Tradewinds is a great way to try a lot of boats before you buy one. Because
we have one of the lowest of members-to-boat of any club, our members
get plenty of sailing time. Our boats are clean, well maintained, and they
offer plenty of sailing fun at affordable prices. You'll be proud to sail
with Tradewinds.
