Boats for sailing schools and clubs
Group boats, beginner boats and catamarans to build or renew your fleet.
In short: For a sailing school or club we recommend combining group boats (the Omega, up to 7 crew, or the Argo, up to four people), single-handed beginner boats (Taz, Europi, Topper or Optimist) and Topaz catamarans. All Toppers are built in Trilam polyethylene and need minimal maintenance.
Since 1995 we have been equipping sailing schools and clubs with boats designed for daily use: stable, tough and needing minimal maintenance. We have the whole Topper range, from group boats to catamarans, and we build the Optimist and the 420. We'll help you choose the right mix of models for your students' ages and levels.
