Our eight Ynglings ready to go sailing

SailMaine, in conjunction with the University of Southern Maine, currently owns and utilizes the following fleets of boats at the Casco Bay Community Boating Center:

    420's

  • 18 Vanguard Collegiate 420s, a sturdy, relatively high performance 14' double-handed racing dinghy utilized in our College, High School, and summer Junior Programs, as well as Maine Special Olympics Sailing. These boats have sails colored for Team Racing and are used for all High School and College racing events as well as summer Junior team race events.
  • yngling

  • 8 DeWolf Ynglings, a 21' Keelboat, designed for three sailors, but capable of being sailed by 2 to 4, they are perfect for our learn to sail and one-design racing activities. The Ynglings are an ideal entry level racing boat, and we hope to use them as a trainer for local Etchells and J24 fleets. Since 2004, the Yngling has been the Women's Keelboat at the Olympic Games. SailMaine looks forward to supporting a Maine-based Women's team.

  • Frosty




  • 20 Cape Cod Frosties, a 6'4" single handed boat designed for Adult Frostbiting and utilized in our program for summer Junior Sailing.

  • 2 Compass Project Optimists, an 8' single handed youth boat designed for basic sailing and racing. The Optimist has become the largest youth one-design class in the world, with currently around 180,000 Optimists sailed in almost every country on earth. These boats were built and donated to SailMaine by the Compass Project.

  • 1 Laser, a 14' single handed racing dinghy that is the Open Single-Handed Yacht at the Olympic Games.
