© Southport Yacht Club - SYC

The Southport Junior Yacht Club Sailing Foundation uses the following sailboats in its sailing classes:

Turnabouts:  A safe, stable trainer with a single mainsail and a small spinnaker.  Room for several beginners and an instructor make this an ideal entry level boat.  The Turnabouts are privately owned and shared with the program.

Optimist Dinghies (Opti's):  A single-handed advanced dinghy for younger racers.  The Foundation owns a few Opti's; most Opti sailors provide their own.

420's:  The universal US sailing double-handed training boat used by teenage and collegiate sailors.  The 420 is used in our Advanced Class. The Foundation owns fifteen 420's.

J/80:  The J/80 is a sprit-rigged keelboat raced on the Boothbay peninsula. The J/80 introduces advanced program sailors to keelboat handling and racing, including related topics of crew coordination and additional aspects of seamanship.
