Since we have very shallow water, the Olympic Class Nacra Catamaran is the right boat. Not cheap, but an exciting boat to sail on and keep their interest. Also the 420 is the standard monohull trainer for High School and College Sailing Teams. A High School Student who has racing training and experience on both of these has a really good chance of making a College Varsity Sailing Team like St. Mary’s, Naval Academy
