To truly enjoy the sport of sailing on Cuba Lake, you are going to need a sailboat; not just any sailboat, but one like others in the fleet, so that you can fully learn and fairly test your skills as a sailing crew.

Here at Cuba Lake, MC Scows are now the boats of choice for adult members who like to go out on their own. The MC can also accommodate a total of two crew members. We have a half dozen C Scows, a larger version of the same boat, sailed by members with up to three crew members. Sunfish are also a popular smaller boat for beginning sailors. The Sunfish is also used in our woman’s weekday night program. For sailors under the age of 13 our most popular boat is the O’Pen Bic, which is easy to sail, and self-bailing! For our youngest, Optimist sailboats are most popular. The club also owns a small fleet of 420’s for our teenagers to use to build their sailing skills and compete in regional sailing events.

How Much?

All boats made in the last 25 years are manufactured out of fiber glass. If properly maintained, they last forever. No matter which class of boat you choose, a good entry-level used boat will cost you between $1,000 and $4,000 to purchase and equip – sometimes (if you’re lucky) quite a bit less. New boats are more expensive but are well worth it when you decide to get serious about racing. We can help you locate a good used boat in any of our active classes, and we will be glad to sail with you until you are comfortable “up front” as a crew, or at the helm calling the shots.
