San Juan 21 sailors are among the most active sailors in North America. Twenty-ones can be found on the rivers of the Midwest, on the lakes from Calgary, Alberta south to Texas, the coastal mountains, lakes, and shores of both the Pacific and Atlantic. Three regions now make up the Association: West, Midwest, and East. Each represent well in Regional Championships held each year — and in the North American Championship which rotates through each region on a three year cycle and brings together San Juan 21 sailors from across the nation!

Welcome to the Sandpiper 565 Sailboat Owner's Group. The Sandpiper is 18.5 feet long (5.65 metres), but feels more like a keelboat than an enlarged dinghy. It has a relatively high freeboard and deep cockpit. You can walk around the deck of this boat, and it has a forward hatch and even a small anchor locker. The Sandpiper is trailerable and its keel (ballasted daggerboard) retracts completely into the hull, a feature which makes this boat very easy to beach.

"How fast can you go in the middle of the night in 35 knots of wind and 15 foot breaking seas? Wear your safety harness and be sure to take your spinnaker down before mother nature does it for you." Bill Lee

A fine bow, wide beam, and heavy fixed fin keel makes the Santana 22 stiff and delightfully easy to handle. If you are looking for competitive one design racing on the San Francisco Bay at a fraction of the cost of other fleets, the Santana 22 is your boat. The Santana 22 is a 40 year old design that was conceived expressly for sailing on the bay. The class currently maintains an active racing schedule participating in the YRA One Design Class Association series in addition to several other races. Our sailors range from some of the best in the bay to those who are just getting started in racing.

The 525 was designed in the 70's by Shad Turner to the IOR racing rules. The result is a boat that was competitive and is still competitive in today's PHRF racing. Shad focused on light building techniques utilizing strategic reinforcement of critical areas. He decided on a hydrofoil that allows the 525 to point better than most boats with out sacrificing down wind speed. The results of this design is minimum wetted surface area and exceptional responsiveness to helm.

The Sea Sprite Association Homepage.

The Canadian Shark Class Association (CSCA) is a member of the International Shark Class Association (ISCA), and is the governing body for Shark racing in Canada. Sharks are an officially recognized one-design class of World Sailing (formerly the International Sailing Federation – ISAF). The Shark was designed in 1959 by George Hinterhoeller, then a 31-year-old Austrian émigré and Boatwright living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Having grown up sailing light displacement fin-keeled boats in his native Austria, Hinterhoeller soon grew tired of the ponderous full-keeled wooden sloops that were common in the 1950's on Lake Ontario and wanted a boat that would go like hell when the wind blew. Sharks have been a mainstay of the one-design sailing scene on the Great Lakes for over 40 years, and the class is as strong today as ever. Toronto, ON Canada

International Shark Class Association. The International Shark Class Association (ISCA) Is the governing body of the Shark one-design keelboat with active National Associations in Canada, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Australian Sharpie Association. It seems that once you start sailing these iconic three person dinghies you can't give them up - it doesn't matter what age you are, sailing Sharpies is just so much fun. Australian Lightweight Sharpies are a national one design class with a long history of evolution. The class is quite unusual in comparison to the majority of other dinghies, due to its distinctive shape, size and complement of crew (three: including skipper, main hand and forward hand on trapeze).

The Australian Sharpie is a highly competitive yet social class with a long history of attracting and developing champion sailors. The Australian Sharpie, or Lightweight Sharpie, was founded by the Addison brothers in Western Australia and is a much lighter version of the original 12m, or Heavyweight, Sharpie. The one design aspect of the class keeps costs to minimum compared to other classes while locking in the performance aspects of the design. Along with a performing design the class also boasts an impressive social side with some sailors joining the fleet for that reason only. The sharpie combines hard racing with desire for a nice cold corona when arriving onshore.

We are a sociable and lively class with a strong racing programme. We are passionate and knowledgeable about racing and enjoy legendary après-sailing just as much as on the water.

The Sigma 38 is one of the few yachts that manages to combine the excitement of one design racing with comfortable cruising. Although the Sigma 38 was designed in the late 80s it’s racing pedigree speaks for itself. An active class association ensures there is a year round nail biting one design racing programme. Sigma 38s continue to be the largest one design entry in the Fastnet Race and are regularly the most represented production boat in both RORC and JOG races.

An Ian Proctor design thriving today, actively enjoyed by multiple generations of sailors & spectators. The SigneT is a 12’4” traditional racing dinghy designed in 1961 by the late Ian Proctor. In Ian’s own words, “the design problem set by the Sunday Times was to provide really good sailing and racing at the lowest possible cost” and over 60 years later the SigneT does exactly that. The resulting SigneT is probably the easiest to build two-person boat. The hard-chine wooden hull, designed for home building in your average single garage without the need for fancy tools, is a lasting design. You can home-build SigneTs or buy them second-hand. The SigneT truly is a multi-generational class. Sailors range from under 10 years old to over 70.

The S.O.I.A. was founded in 1957 with the object of promoting the interests of Silhouettes and similar small craft.

The SKUD18 is the result of collaboration between Hansa Sailing's Chris Mitchell and B&B Technology and Innovation - Julian Bethwaite and Martin Billoch. By combining Mitchell's unique understanding and ideology of sailing for people with disabilities with 20 years of Bethwaite's high performance skiff experience, the result is the innovative 'lead assisted skiff' (LAS), the SKUD18. The boat is an exciting challenge for able-bodied and disabled sailors alike. This boat has been designed from a performance basis, to offer scintillating, crisp and snappy response to sailors regardless of their mobility.

The object of the Association and it's Website is to provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and stimulate discussion on all aspects of owning and sailing boats from the Snapdragon, Mirage and Invader classes.

International Snipe Class. The Snipe is a 15-1/2 foot, 2 person, one design racing dinghy with a rich history. Designed by William Crosby in 1931, it has evolved into a modern, tactical racing dinghy with fleets around the world. Although the Snipe Class has some of the best competition in the world, the class has not lost sight of the importance of social events and, in fact, many regattas are as well known for their parties as they are for their racing.

Snipen is a two-man dinghy with a rich history. The boat was designed by William Crosby in 1931. The boat has developed into a modern, tactical racing dinghy, with fleets around the world. The snipe is considered a heavy dinghy (172.8 kg. Ready to sail), which makes it extremely tactical to sail. You can say that the weight also means that the dinghy is solidly built and you can therefore have a competitive dinghy for many years. The dinghy is sailed without plays, but instead the jib is played downwards. This may be a reason why there are so many Snipe Sailors and former Snipe Sailors who sail Starboat, with great success.

Italian Snipe Class Association. A radical departure from the tradition of the world of sailing occurred in Sarasota (Florida) in March 1931, when the editor of the "Rudder" Bill Crosby attended a meeting of the Florida West Coast Racing Association. In response to the request to create a class of trolley-transportable racing boats, Crosby promised to start this class by drawing and publishing plans for such a boat in his magazine. The name Snipe was chosen according to the "Rudder" magazine's custom of naming all of his designs from sea and water birds and the plans for the Snipe appeared in the July issue of "Rudder" which was quickly sold out. Most of the boats are now built by professionals and are made of fiberglass but the wood in boards and plywood are still used and amateurs can build boats from projects obtainable from the SCIRA office or buy fiberglass boats in kits, to be finished on their own. All boats must be measured and carry the SCIRA sticker mark in SCIRA competitions

The hull shape provides first-class performance combined with safe, one-person, handling characteristics. In the spiral fleet, teenage sailors and women and men of all ages enjoy close racing. This provides a great context for younger sailors to develop their understanding of the sport, and it is attractive for families who often have multiple boats for husbands, wives and children (and grand children!).

The Starling class yacht was conceived and the design commissioned by John Peet in the late 1960s. At the time there were no single-handed boats available to teenagers for bridging the gap between the P class and the adult Finn, OK, Cherokee and Zephyr classes. Many young sailors were leaving the sport because the step to the adult classes was too great. A stepping stone class was required. The Starling design is owned Glendowie Boating Club, St Heliers, Auckland, New Zealand

The Stella Association has been revived in recent years and is strongly supported by a growing number of owners, crew and others whose aim is to look after and further the interests of the class. The number of boats in commission is probably now the highest since the class was new in the 1960s. 2009 saw the 50th anniversary of the class, and the association is more active than ever. The association organises sailing and social events throughout the year and keeps members informed through mailings, an annual directory and several newsletters reporting on past events and future plans, as well as articles and general chat. The association also keeps an informal eye on the whereabouts of the boats and who owns them. Based in the UK

The official web site of the Stewart 34 Owners Association of New Zealand.

Since 1976 the class has grown steadily and there are strong fleets nationwide, with sail numbers now fast approaching the 1900 mark and SCOA membership totalling more than 225, spread over at least 90 clubs in the UK. The Streaker is a lightweight single-handed dinghy with good handling characteristics. It is suitable for a wide range of abilities from relative beginner to expert racer.

The Sunburst Association has one of the largest memberships in New Zealand with over 300 boats currently sailing. The fleet was created by the Brooke family back in the 50's with the aim of providing a versatile sailing vessel for the average sailor. The Sunburst is actively raced all over the Country, with representation at most clubs. Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand

The sunfish has its roots planted firmly in 1947 in Waterbury, Connecticut. Friends Alexander "Al" Bryan and Cortlandt "Cort" Heyniger (the Al and Cort in Alcort) pondered, "How to put a sail on a surfboard?" The answer involved a rejected design for American Red Cross waterfront rescue surfboards, leading to the Sailfish - a lateen rigged, flat-decked, plywood marvel. In 1951, Bryan's pregnant wife found its flat deck somewhat uncomfortable. The addition of a cockpit and widening of the hull created the Sunfish.

Information about the Sunfish World Championships including results, photos, world ranking list, archives, and more.

The Supernova grew out of a collaboration between the then Lightning 368 Class Chairman, Frank Puranik, and Mark Giles the Lightning designer and builder. The desire was for a larger and faster single handed racing dinghy that would, like the Lightning before it, attract sailors into a new class offering a distinct combination of features not easily found in other existing designs. What evolved was a boat of similar and slightly larger vital statistics than an International Laser but with a completely different approach to the rig. There is an active open meeting programme in the United Kingdom and a small number of boats are sailing and racing in the Netherlands. What perhaps sets the Supernova apart from other designs, for the present at least, is the absence of boats on the second hand market. Supernova owners are, if nothing else, enthusiastic about their choice of boat.
