Sailing is truly a lifelong sport. You can enjoy the wind and waves at any age. Sailing can be a quiet, restful few hours on the water, a long cruise to destinations unknown, or an exciting blast across the lake. If you like to race, it can be done just about anywhere around the world ... the sailboat racing community is a fun and joyous group.

Key Largo Ocean Courses  

It cannot be overstated that before you begin, have someone who is experienced show you the rigging on the sail boat. All boats are different but some things are the same. This will cover the hardware presented on most small sailboats and common sailing techniques and the many definitions of terms that you will need. You should know the names of the different pieces of hardware on the boat, all the lines, and should learn to rig the boat by yourself.

Sailing is the art of controlling a boat with large pieces of canvas cloth called sails. By changing the rigging, rudder, and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats.

All great sailors share one common trait -- knowing that they don't know it all. Every trip out of the slip is a potential learning experience. Every article or book contains something new. From a different way to tie a familiar knot to someone else's idea of a properly trimmed sail, it's worth knowing about.

Here are some statistics for the most searched sailboats. While this may be kind of a popularity ranking, we still urge you to get the right craft for the type of sailing you want to do.

Catalina - Hunter - Oday -  Laser - MacGregor - Pearson  - Morgan - Bristol - Ericson - Vanguard - Tartan - Beneteau - Irwin - Cape Dory - Escape

 “How will I use my sailboat?” Getting this question right goes a long way toward buying the right boat. The answer to this question, however, must be detailed. It can’t be a general answer like “to race” or “daysail” or “to cruise.”

Vessel Characteristics:

Once we know how we will use our boat, we can determine the vessel characteristics best for our use. Vessel characteristics can be divided into three categories: sailing, safety and living. Sailing characteristics include speed, stability (tendency to heel), ability to point, ease of steering (tendency to sail straight) and balance. A racer, for example, will want a fast boat that can point close to the wind and may be willing to sacrifice some stability and ease to get it. A long distance cruiser on the other hand may be willing to sail a little further off the wind to get more stability and balance. Sailing characteristics will be determined by the boat design, specifically: sail plan, keel type and depth, sail area to weight ratio, and displacement.

The  Nonsuch Sailboat  line of catboats is a series of popular cruising sailboats built between 1978 and the mid-1990s by Hinterhoeller Yachts in St. Catharines, Ontario. The Nonsuch Sailboat is the inspiration of Gordon Fisher, who with yacht designer Mark Ellis approached George Hinterhoeller to build a comfortable cruising boat.  This idea has produced over 950 boats from 22' to 36'  that are enjoyed by sailors of all types.
