Our Fleet

Currently, Rocky Point Sailing Association fleet consists of the following boats:

420 - The 420 Class is a 14-foot sail training and junior racing dinghy that's become extremely popular all over the world. With the International Sailing Federation moving toward a "standard slate" of junior racing classes for future Youth Wormost national sailing authorities have been favoring the 420 to be the standard youth double-handed racer and trapeze/spinnaker training boat.

There are currently 15 420's in the RPSA fleet.

Laser - The Laser is one of the most popular single handed/single sailed racing dinghies in the world. Known for oustanding performance, the laser is 14 feet long, and weighs about 130 pounds, making it very easy to transport on the roof of most cars. The simple rigging (no stays and sleeved sail) make this a low maintenance, high enjoyment craft.

There are currently 9 Lasers in the RPSA fleet.

 Sabot - The sabot is a very popular training boat, especially for 'smaller' people. The boat is approx 8 feet long, and weighs between 60 and 125 pounds. The boat was originally designed and built from plywood, as can be seen in the shape of the hull at right. The sabot is very affordable, stable, easy to transport - it can also be rowed easily, making it a popular tender on larger cruising sailboats.

Optimist - The Optimist is very much like the sabot, at 7.5 feet long, and 77 lbs, it is a very popular boat for the 'smaller' sailors. The optimist has a HUGE worldwide fleet and following, and again, can be home built or purchased very cheaply.

There are currently 12 Optimists in the RPSA fleet
