Top Sailing Boats for Performance Racing and Training
With
Offshore, you sail with peace of mind knowing that the sailboat
you're on is in top condition with the latest equipment and amenities.
For
basic training, performance sailing and racing courses you sail
the high-performance Colgate 26 sailboat - quite simply the safest,
easiest, most fun boat there is. Designed by Steve Colgate and
renowned naval architect Jim Taylor, the Colgate 26 won the 1997
Cruising World magazine Boat of the Year Award in the
Pocket Cruiser category shortly after it debuted. This is the
boat the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Maine Maritime
Academy, Eckerd College and other institutions across the United
States have chosen as their primary trainer.
In
the security of its big, ergonomically designed cockpit you have
plenty of room to move around, experiencing the feel of a larger
boat with features that make sailing easy and safe. After learning
on a Colgate 26, you are prepared to go on to racing or comfortably
make the transition to cruising boats.
The
Colgate 26 was conceived and designed with the future of sailing
in mind. "My feeling was, and its been proven true,"
said Colgate, "that if a boat has all the features desired
for teaching beginners and racing, the same boat will appeal to
the broad public market. Our sail boats are being used and abused
6 to 7 days a week, 12 months a year in a number of Offshore Sailing
School locations.”
Colgate
made his Colgate 26 sailing boats as versatile as possible, thereby
enhancing their resale value by appealing to a broad sector of
the sailing public. Although widely used for training purposes,
most of the 278 sail boats on the water today were bought by individuals
who sail on lakes and bays for recreational fun, racing or both.
